I don't understand. I said a language that doesn't have anonymous access types
cannot have features that rely on anonymous access types. By that I mean such a
language cannot provide a feature that requires the user to write an anonymous
access type.
I did not say that such a language cannot have any specific feature; only that
such a language cannot have an implementation that relies on anonymous access
types of any feature.
This seems to be a tautology to me.
Can you show me how a language that doesn't have anonymous access types can have
features that rely on anonymous access types?
