超过 2 种类型的无形类型析取

Question

如何在 shapeless 中为 3 种或更多类型提供类型析取？示例：

import shapeless._

object Tst extends App {

  sealed trait Base

  final case class A() extends Base
  final case class B() extends Base
  final case class C() extends Base
  final case class D() extends Base

  def AorB[T: (A |∨| B)#λ](t: T): Unit =
    t match {
      case _: A => println("A")
      case _: B => println("B")
    }
  AorB(A()) //Ok
  AorB(B()) //Ok

  def AorBorC[T: (A |∨| B |∨| C)#λ](t: T): Unit =
    t match {
      case _: A => println("A")
      case _: B => println("B")
      case _: C => println("C")
    }
  AorBorC(A()) //compile-error
  AorBorC(B()) //compile-error
  AorBorC(C()) //Ok
}

从 2 种类型的析取中可以看出，它工作得很好。但是对于 3 种类型的析取，它不能按预期工作。

编译错误为：

Error:(28, 10) Cannot prove that (Tst.A => Nothing) => Nothing <:< Object{type λ[X] = (X => Nothing) => Nothing <:< Tst.A => Nothing with Tst.B => Nothing => Nothing} => Nothing with Tst.C => Nothing => Nothing.
  AorBorC(A())

和

Error:(29, 10) Cannot prove that (Tst.B => Nothing) => Nothing <:< Object{type λ[X] = (X => Nothing) => Nothing <:< Tst.A => Nothing with Tst.B => Nothing => Nothing} => Nothing with Tst.C => Nothing => Nothing.
  AorBorC(B())

shapeless.|∨| 不适用于超过 2 种类型。

超过2种编码会变得更复杂。

一种编码适用于 2、4、8 ... 类型

type ¬¬¬¬[T] = ¬¬[¬¬[T]]
type |∨∨|[T, U] = {
  type λ[X] = ¬¬¬¬[X] <:< (T ∨ U)
}

def AorBorC[T: ((A ∨ B) |∨∨| (C ∨ C))#λ](t: T): Unit =
  t match {
    case _: A => println("A")
    case _: B => println("B")
    case _: C => println("C")
  }

AorBorC(A()) //Ok
AorBorC(B()) //Ok
AorBorC(C()) //Ok

另一个用于任意数量的类型

trait Disj[T] {
  type or[S] = Disj[T with ¬[S]]
  type apply = ¬[T]
}

type ∨∨∨[T1, T2, T3] = Disj[¬[T1]]#or[T2]#or[T3]#apply

type |∨∨∨|[T1, T2, T3] = {
  type λ[X] = ¬¬[X] <:< ∨∨∨[T1, T2, T3]
}

def AorBorC[T: |∨∨∨|[A, B, C]#λ](t: T): Unit =
  t match {
    case _: A => println("A")
    case _: B => println("B")
    case _: C => println("C")
  }

AorBorC(A()) //Ok
AorBorC(B()) //Ok
AorBorC(C()) //Ok
