This fails

(Integer,Float)

 LISP output:
(UNPRINTABLE UNPRINTABLE)

Type: Tuple(Domain)

Tuple Type

 LISP output:
(UNPRINTABLE)

Type: Tuple(SubDomain(Domain))

But this works

List Type

Type: Domain

The following domain called Domain provides some of the missing functionality. It is based on AldorDomain by Peter Broadbery who writes:

  [One] can still do some useful things with them by disguising
  the fact that they are domains, so in aldor have a type and
  your aldor programs can return this to axiom.

For example:

#include "axiom.as"

AldorDomain(T:Type): with {
      make: () -> %;
      coerce: (%) -> OutputForm;
} == add {
      Rep ==> Type;

      make(): % == per T;

      coerce(t: %): OutputForm == {
              import from SExpression;
              devaluate(t pretend SExpression)::OutputForm
      };

      import {
              BOOT_:_:devaluate: SExpression -> SExpression;
      } from Foreign Lisp;

      local devaluate(s: SExpression): SExpression == {
              BOOT_:_:devaluate(s);
      }
}

And it nearly solves the problem!

Type: Tuple(Domain)

Except:

  \begin{axiom}
  select(a,1)
  \end{axiom}

causes Axiom to abort.
