       Module Type
        : (moduleStdlib__Type)Typeequalitywitnesstype(_,_)eq =
        | Equal :('a,'a)eq

       The  purpose  of  eq  is to represent type equalities that may not otherwise be known by the type checker
       (e.g. because they may depend on dynamic data).

       A value of type (a,b)eq represents the fact that types a and b are equal.

       If one has a value eq:(a,b)eq that proves types a and b are equal, one can use it to convert a  value
       of type a to a value of type b by pattern matching on Equal :
             letcast(typea)(typeb)(Equal:(a,b)Type.eq)(a:a):b=a

       At runtime, this function simply returns its second argument unchanged.

       Type identifiers.

       A  type  identifier  is  a  value that denotes a type. Given two type identifiers, they can be tested for
       Type.Id.provably_equal to prove they denote the same type. Note that:

       -Unequal identifiers do not imply unequal types: a given type can be denoted by more than one identifier.

       -Type identifiers can be marshalled, but they get a new, distinct,  identity  on  unmarshalling,  so  the
       equalities are lost.

       See an Type.Id.example of use.
