> Users should not use the same identifier for two different objects.
consider that this is COMPUTATIONAL mathematics. the user has to know
what the scope of a variable is. the 'bug' is actually a user error.
the behavior of the system is well defined and the result can be
predicted. failure to correctly scope variables is a standard programmer
error.
removing simplification of type towers would significantly reduce the
usefulness of axiom.
