    What is a vacuous type?

    I think it's when you declare a variable with the blonde data type.

    Apparently (as found by google) Vacuous means "hollow". As to what the compiler is actually complaining about, I'm not quite sure.

    You probably need to ask Diab (or whoever represents them) for the actual answer to what this means.
