The type $\wctype{\overline{\Delta}}{C}{\ol{T}}$ defines a set of wildcards $\overline{\Delta}$, which can be used inside the type parameters $\ol{T}$. It is important that each wildcard declaration $\wildcard{X}{T}{L}$ is unique. \section{Type rules} \begin{figure}[tp] $\begin{array}{l} \typerule{S-Refl}\\ \begin{array}{@{}c} \Delta \vdash \type{T} <: \type{T} \end{array} \end{array}$ $\begin{array}{l} \typerule{S-Trans}\\ \begin{array}{@{}c} \Delta \vdash \type{S} <: \type{T}' \quad \quad \Delta \vdash \type{T}' <: \type{T} \\ \hline \vspace*{-0.3cm}\\ \Delta \vdash \type{S} <: \type{T} \end{array} \end{array}$ $\begin{array}{l} \typerule{S-Upper}\\ \begin{array}{@{}c} \wildcard{X}{U}{L} \in \Delta \\ \vspace*{-0.9em}\\ \hline \vspace*{-0.9em}\\ \Delta \vdash \type{X} <: \type{U} \end{array} \end{array}$ $\begin{array}{l} \typerule{S-Lower}\\ \begin{array}{@{}c} \wildcard{X}{U}{L} \in \Delta \\ \vspace*{-0.9em}\\ \hline \vspace*{-0.9em}\\ \Delta \vdash \type{L} <: \type{X} \end{array} \end{array}$ \\[1em] $\begin{array}{l} \typerule{S-Extends}\\ \begin{array}{@{}c} \texttt{class}\ \exptype{C}{\overline{\type{X} \triangleleft \type{U}}} \triangleleft \exptype{D}{\ol{S}} \ \{ \ldots \} \\ \ol{X} \cap \text{dom}(\Delta) = \emptyset \\ \hline \vspace*{-0.3cm}\\ \Delta \vdash \wctype{\Delta'}{C}{\ol{T}} <: \wctype{\Delta'}{D}{[\ol{T}/\ol{X}]\ol{S}} \end{array} \end{array}$ $\begin{array}{l} \typerule{S-Exists}\\ \begin{array}{@{}c} \Delta', \Delta \vdash [\ol{T}/\ol{\type{X}}]\ol{L} <: \ol{T} \quad \quad \Delta', \Delta \vdash \ol{T} <: [\ol{T}/\ol{\type{X}}]\ol{U} \\ \text{fv}(\ol{T}) \subseteq \text{dom}(\Delta, \Delta') \quad \quad \text{dom}(\Delta') \cap \text{fv}(\wctype{\ol{\wildcard{X}{U}{L}}}{C}{\ol{S}}) = \emptyset \\ \hline \vspace*{-0.3cm}\\ \Delta \vdash \wctype{\Delta'}{C}{[\ol{T}/\ol{\type{X}}]\ol{S}} <: \wctype{\ol{\wildcard{X}{U}{L}}}{C}{\ol{S}} \end{array} \end{array}$ \caption{Subtyping}\label{fig:subtyping} \end{figure} \begin{figure}[tp] $\begin{array}{l} \typerule{WF-Bot}\\ \begin{array}{@{}c} \Delta \vdash \bot \ \ok \end{array} \end{array}$ $\begin{array}{l} \typerule{WF-Top}\\ \begin{array}{@{}c} \Delta \vdash \ol{L}, \ol{U} \ \ok \\ \hline \vspace*{-0.3cm}\\ \Delta \vdash \overline{\wildcard{W}{U}{L}}.\texttt{Object} \end{array} \end{array}$ $\begin{array}{l} \typerule{WF-Var}\\ \begin{array}{@{}c} \Delta \vdash \ol{L}, \ol{U} \ \ok \\ \hline \vspace*{-0.3cm}\\ \Delta \vdash \wildcard{W}{U}{L} \ \ok \end{array} \end{array}$ $\begin{array}{l} \typerule{WF-Class}\\ \begin{array}{@{}c} \Delta \vdash \ol{T}, \ol{L}, \ol{U} \ \ok \quad \quad \Delta \vdash \ol{L} <: \ol{U} \\ \Delta \vdash \ol{T} <: [\ol{T}/\ol{X}] \ol{U'} \quad \quad \texttt{class}\ \exptype{C}{\ol{X \triangleleft U'}} \triangleleft \type{N} \ \{ \ldots \} \\ \hline \vspace*{-0.3cm}\\ \Delta \vdash \wctype{\ol{\wildcard{W}{U}{L}}}{C}{\ol{T}} \ \ok \end{array} \end{array}$ \caption{Well-formedness}\label{fig:well-formedness} \end{figure} %TODO: Proof that well-formed (ok) implies that a type is witnessed We change the type rules to require the well-formedness instead of the witnessed property.
