The constraint would be pretty complicated and it doesn't handle the
different output rules.

Don't worry. After things settle down we'll fold things together so
that there is two input wrapper functions and everything else will be
handled by the same functions so you won't hardly know the difference.
I too originally thought there should be one type but Paul has convinced
me otherwise.
