Re: Dylan stuff

How about something like this?

(define sealed method foo ((x <fixnum>)(y <fixnum>)) => (<fixnum> <boolean> #rest)
  (begin
    (do-stuff-to-x)
    ...))

Some of this is traditional old prefix Dylan; some is new. it clear what all the novel bits mean? How is it, aestehtically?

For comparison, here's how you would say the same thing in Bard (except the "sealed" bit, which Bard doesn't have):

(def foo (function Integer Integer -> Integer Boolean &))

(define method (foo x y)
  with: ((x <fixnum>)(y <fixnum>))
  (begin
    (do-stuff-to-x)
    ...))
