Typehood and Membership

What follows is not a definition but a body of facts easily derived from the definition above.

  T type iff void or atom or int

or (a=b in A) & &

or (a<b) & int & int

or A list & A type

or A|B & A type & B type

or ( x:A#B or A#B )
* & A type & if

or ( x:A->B or A->B )
* & A type & if

or ( {x:A|B} or {A|B} )
* & A type & if

or
* ( x,y:A//B or A//B )
* & A type
* & u,v,w are distinct and don't occur in B
