What did you do?

Ran this playground code.

What did you see happen?

./prog.go:7:2: internal compiler error: func() (#r bool) is not assignable to func() main.Bool

What did you expect to see?

Either no error, or an error that isn't an internal compiler error.

Unified IR is having trouble with this code, because there's an argument/formal mismatch it doesn't think typechecks.

Something like:

type Bool bool
var iter func(func() Bool) = ... // user's iter function
var yield1 func() bool = ... // the loop body closure
iter(yield1)

I think the frontend should either declare the yield function with a return type that matches the user's iteration function's arg's return type, or disallow named booleans as the return type.
I would lean towards the latter, as the spec only lists bool, not a named bool, as the return type.

@randall77 Agreed. I will take care of this.
