Details

Error and Symbol typing

In the original package, the types of Error and Symbol (and therefore None) are *error-type* due to bad typing of the dash.class function. Here they are explicitly re-typed to expose their most useful attributes. This does, however, conceal some of the functionality provided by dash.class, such as the inclusion of metamethods and the _init method.
