Description
Currently, using a type identifier as a parameter in a function, for some reason, breaks the code.
```
// This works
let foo (num) = $0
// This does not
let bar (⊤) = $0
// Nor this
let main (:arguments [String]) = print (foo 10)
```
We should fix the struct so that type identifiers are acceptable.

Start by reproducing the three examples in the issue and trace how struct parameters and type identifiers are parsed or represented. The issue does not name source files or tests; done means type identifiers such as ⊤ and :arguments [String] are accepted without breaking the shown programs.
