I agree. I am just trying to understand it.

Why does::

  Maybe(T: Type) == Union(T,"failed")

and::

  Maybe(T: Type):Type == Union(T,"failed")

have such different semantics? Is this a good thing? Maybe there is a need for something that stands for the type of the rhs::

  Maybe(T: Type):rhs == Union(T,"failed")

No, there should not be a need for specifying result type. In fact, if you specify "Type" as result type, you explicitly ask for not having any exported operation. That wasn't the intent. The intent was to get whatever the right hand side exported as exports. Such as in

But, the use of macro is a workaround a fundamental problem in the compiler -- which I'm desperately trying to convey.

This and the original bug comes from the same source in the compiler.
