Well, I haven't checked whether it should really work, but shouldn't be:

 Foo: with {
    g: (n: PositiveInteger, k: PositiveInteger) ->

 } == add {
    g(n: PositiveInteger, k: PositiveInteger ):
     (P: PrimeFieldCategory, x:P) == {
     (PrimeField(n), k::Integer::PrimeField(n)
    }
 }

be even better?

In fact you just pointed a way to solve the problem! Notice that you are in effect constructing a domain! So first create this domain (call this anything else you like)

and it works (in Axiom)! (Do not declare the types for g because n is not defined).

Compiling g is still a problem in Axiom due to signature limitation. At least this way, inlining a complicated function is almost like a function call.

The idea is: Since in creating domains (or any other types of constructors), we are in effect creating a function(the domain constructor PPF is a function of sorts, or functor) and the compiler can take dependent types in its signature,structurally:

  PPF(n:PositiveInteger)==PrimeField(n) with foo

so it should be able to compile something like g by lifting it to the package level.

So here is another way using package.

Foo(n:PositiveInteger, k:Integer):with point:()->PrimeField(n)

After compiling, we can use:

  point()$Foo(n,k)

in any computation in compiler code (and in interpreter). In the interpreter you can call this bar(n,k):

bar(n,k) == point()$Foo(n,k)

bar(7,4)

Can someone give an example where the signature of bar:

  bar: (n: PositiveInteger, k: PositiveInteger) -> PrimeField(n)

is actually needed?
