The opaque form of `require/typed' is to allow requiring operations on
an ADT for which only a predicate is known. It supports using
`require/typed' with ADTs defined in exactly the way Matthias
suggests. For example, if there was no built-in `String' type, then
the opaque form of `require/typed' would be the way to specify it.
