+Explanation: Every optional element ends with a type annotation for the element
+that might be present, like this:
+
+
+ ┌────────────────────────┐
+ │ [1] : Optional Integer │ An optional element that's present
+ └────────────────────────┘
+ ⇧
+ The type of the ❰Optional❱ element, which is an ❰Integer❱
+
+
+ ┌────────────────────────┐
+ │ [] : Optional Integer │ An optional element that's absent
+ └────────────────────────┘
+ ⇧
+ You still specify the type even when the element is absent
+
+
+The element type must be a type and not something else. For example, the
+following element types are $_NOT valid:
+
+
+ ┌──────────────────┐
+ │ ... : Optional 1 │
+ └──────────────────┘
+ ⇧
+ This is an ❰Integer❱ and not a ❰Type❱
+
+
+ ┌─────────────────────┐
+ │ ... : Optional Type │
+ └─────────────────────┘
+ ⇧
+ This is a ❰Kind❱ and not a ❰Type❱
+
+
+Even if the element is absent you still must specify a valid type
+
+You declared that the ❰Optional❱ element should have type:
+
+↳ $txt0
+
+... which is not a ❰Type❱
+
