Research direction

Start by running the supplied program with Racket 6.12 and the typed/racket refinement configuration, confirming that it exhausts memory instead of reporting a type error. Trace the refinement-type expansion or checking path involved in the example. Done means the invalid pair produces a type error without entering an endless loop or exhausting memory.
