-;; abstract-results
-;;
-;; Given results from the range of a lambda, abstract any
-;; identifier objects into index (numeric) objects. This is effectively
-;; doing a kind of De Bruijn indexing for objects.
-;;
-;; When the body of a lambda is type-checked, its filters and object
-;; may refer to variables that are in scope in that body. Since these
-;; names are not in scope outside of the lambda, the type of the function
-;; will instead store their De Bruijn indices.
-;;
-;; For example, given the function
-;;
-;;   (λ (x) (number? x))
-;;
-;; the typechecker will check the body and return
-;;
-;;   Boolean ; N_x | !N_x ; ∅
-;;
-;; but the `x`s have to be converted to indices to get the type
-;;
-;;      N_(0,0) | !N_(0,0)
-;; Any -------------------> Boolean
-;;              ∅
-;;
-;; where the index (0,0) indicates the first argument of
-;; the current function
-;;
-;; Comparatively, a curried predicate like
-;;
-;;   (λ (x) (λ (y)(number? x)))
-;;
-;; gets the type
-;;
-;;             N_(1,0) | !N_(1,0)
-;; Any -> Any -------------------> Boolean
-;;                     ∅
-;;
-;; (ignoring filters on the first arrow)
-;; where the index (1,0) indicates the first argument of
-;; the enclosing lambda.
-;;
-;; The paper "Logical Types for Untyped Languages" takes a different
-;; approach where all function types carry their names, so that the first
-;; example would have the type:
-;;
-;;        N_x | !N_x
-;; x:Any ------------> Boolean
-;;            ∅
-;;
-;; See tc-subst.rkt for the functions that take an abstracted function
-;; type and substitute in a concrete object.
