I think that we essentially want some types to be defined as being 'open' which means more constructors can be added freely at other points in the program, e.g., to allow:
The intention with 'Constructor' it is a 'constructor for constructors' and can load up some fixed metadata associated with data constructors; for now I'm just designing these as strings but later this can be a dictionary.
This PR enables such definitions, extending the type environment as we go.
