[racket] [typed racket] type case

One way is to write an else branch that returns a value that is not the expected result type. Exhaustion of the elements of a union by previous branches would cause the typechecker to determine the reachability of that branch impossible and not report an error.

Subject: [racket] [typed racket] type case

Hi again,

Is there a mechanism to do an exhaustive type case?

I know I can use (cond [(type-pred? v) ...]
                       [...])

but of course I have no guarantee that I am exhaustive (and of course, doing pattern matching to destruct the value would be even nicer). 

Basically, I guess I'm after the typed version of PLAI's type-case.

Thanks,

-- Éric
