Abstract:

In "Designing for Proof " ([4]), Stephen Gilmore suggests the concepts of Wide and Deep types for presenting additional type information to the users of strongly polymorphicly typed languages such a standard-ML [6]. Presented here is an extension to the standard typederivation algorithm which collects this additional information and a description of an implementation of this for the ML core language.
