gollark: You should do that but then see which makes the *automated tests* work.
gollark: So it'll try and pick whichever set of trait implementoids makes the types work? Cool.
gollark: <@319753218592866315> Is this true?
gollark: Really? Huh.
gollark: Or use some kind of evolutionary algorithm™ for constraint solving.
