indique/n/2.0.0

This package shouldn't have to exist.

It supplies the package elm-bounded-nat with shortened names.

A natural number type could be build like this:

module N exposing (..)

type S more = --...
type Z = --...

type alias Nat1Plus more =
    S more

type alias Nat2Plus more =
    S (Nat1Plus more)

-- ...

type alias Nat192Plus more =
    S (Nat191Plus more)

Elm cashes this in elm-stuff like this:

Every alias gets expanded instantly. This gets extremely long extremely fast!

As a result, elm-stuff is likely to corrupt & the compilation is slow.

What could shorten it down?

• N
S N
Z are very common, but we can't shorten these any further
• if we did

type alias Nat192Plus more =
    S (S ... (S more)...)

• lue-birdelm-bounded-nat fills nearly every character!
  • if we replaced every
  lue-birdelm-bounded-nat

with

indiquen

we would save a ton of space.
