[racket] Typed Racket - Recursive Types (Little help please)

This works if you expand the use of Iteratee within the definition of
Continuation.  Mutually-recursive polymorphic types are problematic,
but Continuation is only actually singly-recursive.  You can still
have the definition Iteratee for outside use.

#lang typed/racket/base

;; Inputs
(define-type (Stream D) (U (Datum D) 'Nothing 'EOS))
(struct: (D) Datum ([iota : D]))

;; Iteratee
(define-type (Iteratee D A) (U (Done D A) (Continuation D A)))
(struct: (D A) Done ([accum : A] [stream : (Stream D)]))
(struct: (D A) Continuation ([resume : ((Stream D) -> (U (Done D A)
(Continuation D A)))]))
