    complete and precise

    Exactly. It’s a perfectly condensed yet totally complete readout of all the data you might need for debugging. It makes mathematicians everywhere proud.

    If you don’t actually need a complete set of information about possible exotic type choices just to see you put an infix in the wrong place that’s basically not the compiler’s problem.

    (TBF, I wouldn’t want to try and mindread the programmer in my compiler either, but then I am a maths person)
