[racket-dev] Regular expression types [was Re: [racket-bug] all/14455: wrong type for hash]

Asumu has a rough draft of a commit that would allow this to work, I
don't know the current status though.

https://github.com/plt/racket/pull/564

I was thinking about the problem and I think our current union types
and recursive types covers a lot of ground.

For example as one user wanted to do, exactly one vector and bunch of
numbers: (Rec T (U (Cons (Vectorof Real) (Listof Real)) (Cons Real
T))).
