We could look at an implementation that largely left the syntax untouched: perhaps we could add a single new keyword that switches on "nominality" for a given interface. That would...

You could also use it to make a type nominal in a specific context, even if the type was not marked as nominal: ``` function getById(id: named CustomerId) { //......

When used as part of a type annotation, it would tell the compiler to compare types nominally, rather than structurally - so you could decide when it is important for...

I admit that the notion of marking an item as nominal temporarily as per these recent examples may have been a little flippant - in the process of thinking through...
