Case classes are the Scala algebraic datatype implementation. They
define both types (the classes) and type injectors (the constructors).

Sure, we should split the formal definition from the type-safety proof.

Pattern matching + type-checking is not "over-rigorous" when you gain
such confidence in your formalism.
