Funny enough, we thought about that but only across packages. Now, the
situation gets a little tricky because of folder structure, it's easy
to define a module "foo" in `env`, `lib` and/or `validators`. From the
compiler's perspective, they all have the same name.
For recursive structures like Tuples, the span itself isn't enough to
ensure uniqueness of elements (in particular tuples) holding elements
of the same type.
This is only a start. It compiles, but with a few TODOs left open. In particular, it doesn't currently handle constants depending on other constants or functions; nor does it hoist constants.
The playground doesn't / cannot depend on aiken-project because that becomes a gigantic pain. So instead, we try to keep essential stuff inside aiken-lang when possible.
Technically, we always need a fallback just because the way the UPLC
is going to work. The last case in the handler pattern matching is
always going to be else ...
We could optimize that away and when the validator is exhaustive, make
the last handler the fallback. Yet, it's really a micro optimization
that saves us one extra if/else. So the sake of getting things
working, we always assume that there's a fallback but, with the extra
condition that when the validator is exhaustive (i.e. there's a
handler covering all purposes), the fallback HAS TO BE the default
fallback (i.e. (_) => fail).
This allows us to gracefully format it out, and also raise an error in
case where there's an extraneous custom fallback.
When there's no type annotation in a validator handler signature, we
provide default annotation to help the type-checker. However, for
spend's datum and mint policy_id, those annotations mustn't be `Data`,
but rather Option<Data> and Bytearray.
Without that, when no annotation are provided, the compiler infer
invalid types and fails with incongruous errors.
