Edit detail for #209 The function |Domain| is undefined revision 1 of 2

This fails

(1) -> (Integer,Float)

 LISP output:
(UNPRINTABLE UNPRINTABLE)

Tuple Type

 LISP output:
(UNPRINTABLE)

But this works

List Type

(1)

The following domain called Domain provides some of the missing functionality. It is based on AldorDomain by Peter Broadbery who writes:

  [One] can still do some useful things with them by disguising
  the fact that they are domains, so in aldor have a type and
  your aldor programs can return this to axiom.

For example:

#include "axiom.as"

AldorDomain(T:Type): with {
      make: () -> %;
      coerce: (%) -> OutputForm;
} == add {
      Rep ==> Type;

      make(): % == per T;

      coerce(t: %): OutputForm == {
              import from SExpression;
              devaluate(t pretend SExpression)::OutputForm
      };

      import {
              BOOT_:_:devaluate: SExpression -> SExpression;
      } from Foreign Lisp;

      local devaluate(s: SExpression): SExpression == {
              BOOT_:_:devaluate(s);
      }
}

   There are no library operations named AldorDomain 
      Use HyperDoc Browse or issue
                            )what op AldorDomain
      to learn if there is any operation containing " AldorDomain " in 
      its name.

   Cannot find a definition or applicable library operation named 
      AldorDomain with argument type(s) 
                                    Type

      Perhaps you should use "@" to indicate the required return type, 
      or "$" to specify which version of the function you need.

And it nearly solves the problem!

a:=(Integer,Float)

 LISP output:
(UNPRINTABLE UNPRINTABLE)

Except:

  \begin{axiom}
  select(a,1)
  \end{axiom}

causes Axiom to abort.
