This has been bugging me noncontinusly for months. I could easily make an isASubtypeOf function or whatever more elegant syntax.

BUT I can’t think why anyone would ever want to use it. (In my own language, I mean!) It would never get you any further on in a useful program, so I should leave it out of the language. Because we at Pipefish are Against Bloat.

BUT 2, if I don’t implement it no-one can. There’s nothing more basic from which anyone missing it could build it. So it seems like I have a sort of obligation to them?

Your thoughts please.
