Description
Currently, DaphneIR's Frame data type requires the specification of its columns' value types. This means, we cannot represent the case of a value which is known to be a frame, while we do not know the column types (yet). This can be a problem to type inference at some points.
One idea is to make the specification of the column types of a DaphneIR frame optional.
It is noteworthy that even without knowing the column types, we could already lower operations to the right frame kernels.
