> What's the use-case for this?
the use case is pretty limited if the subtype of Chaine has to be constrained. But it would have been practical if it wouldn't have to.
I was just thinking on the possibility of providing diverse constrained subtype of a unconstrained/undefined type, with different defaults values.
Of course using constructor functions is easier and works very well, so there's no issue... I was just pondering.
