Something that always bothered me is that our revealed types are verbose. Sometimes they are painful to visually parse (especially for complex types). Here I propose to add a flag that for more clean/compact revealed types. With just few tweaks a typical length of a revealed type is reduced by ~half.
I know this may sometimes cause ambiguous types, but IMO such situations are very rare. We can polish this if people will like it, and maybe make the default in a distant future.
