Can I look at the code which does not type check without Obj.magic?
Ideally something like if I comment out Obj.magic then I get a type error,
and if I comment it in then the code type checks, 
so that I can identify the point of the issue?
(In the context of this simplified example of Boxes & Validator)

But B is not in the scope, isn't it?
