+Explanation: You can ❰merge❱ the alternatives of a union using a record with one
+handler per alternative, like this:
+
+
+ ┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
+ │ let union = < Left = +2 | Right : Bool > │
+ │ in let handlers = { Left = Natural/even, Right = λ(x : Bool) → x } │
+ │ in merge handlers union : Bool │
+ └─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
+
+
+... as long as the output type of each handler function matches the declared type
+of the result:
+
+
+ ┌───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
+ │ handlers : { Left : Natural → Bool, Right : Bool → Bool } │
+ └───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
+ ⇧ ⇧
+ These output types ...
+
+ ... must match the declared type of the ❰merge❱
+ ⇩
+ ┌─────────────────────────────┐
+ │ merge handlers union : Bool │
+ └─────────────────────────────┘
+
+
+For example, the following expression is $_NOT valid:
+
+
+ ┌──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
+ │ let union = < Left = +2 | Right : Bool > │
+ │ in let handlers = { Left = Natural/even, Right = λ(x : Bool) → x } │
+ │ in merge handlers union : Text │
+ └──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
+ ⇧
+ Invalid: Doesn't match output of either handler
+
+
+Your handler for the following alternative:
+
+↳ $txt0
+
+... needs to return an output value of type:
+
+↳ $txt1
+
+... but actually returns an output value of a different type:
+
+↳ $txt2
