Oh dear. My complete failure to understand the intent (confirmed by later
reading of some references, which I should have done to start with). Thanks for
the correction.

Despite the goof, I defend my position that we should aim for more rigorous
definitions. At least my effort was unambiguously wrong!

Based on your observations, I am going to attempt to propose a better
proposal.
The new material helps a lot, I think.

Right now I fear I can't see any difference between "matching or covariant" and
"assignment compatible". Do we really need "covariant", except as a convenient
way to describe the whole business?

Thanks again
