I have been burned by sentinel values every time. Give me sum types instead. And while I’m piling on, this example makes no sense to me:

    proc fib[T: Fibable](a: T): T =
      if a <= 2:
        result = 1
      else:
        result = fib(a-1) + fib(a-2)

Integer is the only possible type for T in this implementation, so what was the point of defining Fibable?
