The difference I see is that in one case we write code that can not be compiled, and then tell the compiler not to compile it. With contract adaptors--which are, of course, just a thought, not a fully fledged idea--we direct the compiler to automatically insert wrappers that make the type fit the contract. We never write code that can not be compiled. I understand if you disagree but I would hope that you can express your disagreement while avoiding language like "direction of doom." Thanks.
