I'd write this as follows:
#lang typed/racket
(define-type SN (U String Number))
(define-predicate sn? SN)
(struct: (α) node ({left : α} {right : α}))
(: create-node (All (β) (β β -> (node SN))))
(define (create-node x y)
(if (and (sn? x) (sn? y))
(node x y)
(error 'bad "")))
Unfortunately, Typed Racket doesn't know that the function Matthias
wrote never returns if `x' and `y' aren't in `SN', so his version
won't typecheck, regardless of the bug he's found.
