[racket] Typed Racket: Defining a sequence predicate

Hi again,

Thank you for the quick and helpful response!

OK.  I've worked around the problem by defining an untyped module 
containing a dummy procedure:

     ;;;; --- typed-sequence.rkt ---
     #lang racket
     (provide sequence->sequence)
     (define sequence->sequence identity)

and using that along with an opaque import:

     ;;;; --- main.rkt ---
     #lang typed/racket
     (require/typed racket
       [opaque Sequence sequence?])
     (require/typed "typed-sequence.rkt"
       [sequence->sequence (Sequence -> (Sequenceof Any))])

which is an amazingly ugly hack, but works.   For now. :)

Thanks again,
Matthias
