-- It also shows, how we can pattern-match it.

-- Following is an example of a more complicated composition,
-- which is the same as the following type:
-- 
-- > Sum3 Int (Product2 Char (Sum2 Bool Double)) Char
-- 
-- Just as in the math, the product operator exhibits a higher priority.

-- Where there is a multiplication and addition,
-- there naturally must be a division and subtraction!
-- 
-- Following is an example of how we can extract parts of a composite type.
-- Here the type becomes the same as the following:
-- 
-- > Bool + Double
type BoolOrDouble =
  (SumAndProductMixture - Int - Char) / Char
