You would also run into a form of "type erasure" in most cases and would need a combinatorial explosion of methods unless the type system was able to 'decorate' the generic parameter with additional information.

e.g. imagine a `parseNonEmpty` and a `parseAllEven` method. Both take a list and return either a `NonEmpty` or `AllEven` type. If I call `parseNonEmpty` and get a `NonEmpty`, then pass to `parseAllEven`, I now have erased the `NonEmpty` as I'm left with an `AllEven`. I would need a `parseAllEvenFromNonEmpty` to take a `NonEmpty` and return a `AllEven & NonEmpty`.
