1/// Aver static type representation and built-in type namespaces.
2///
3/// Type annotations in the AST are plain strings; this module converts them
4/// to a structured enum and provides the compatibility relation used by
5/// the type checker.
6///
7/// Sub-modules:
8/// - `checker` — static type checker
9/// - `bool`, `int`, `float`, `string`, `list`, `map`, `char`, `byte` — pure namespace helpers (no effects)
