Abstract

This paper discusses various design issues that are being encountered during the design of a language which includes the highly parametric bulk types constructed using the map constructor. These maps are mutable stores holding sets of n element domains mapping to m element ranges. If the range is empty they behave as standard sets or relations. Issues of equality, ordering, variadicity, constancy, and choice of typing mechanism have all been encountered.
