This will require language changes. The current type grammar is ambiguous. For example, what does fn() -> int or real mean?

Altering grammar to

type ::= primary-type ('or' (primary-type | function-type) )*

return-type ::= none-type |
                primary-type |
                function-type

primary-type ::= any-type | 
                 literal-type | 
                 boolean-type | 
                 integer-type | 
                 real-type | 
                 atom-type | 
                 string-type | 
                 reference-type | 
                 handle-type | 
                 module-type | 
                 record-type | 
                 error-type | 
                 tuple-type | 
                 array-type | 
                 set-type | 
                 map-type | 
                 agent-type | 
                 nominal-type |
                 '(' type ')'

should remove the unambiguousness with minimal changes to structure of code.

This equals to banning directly having a fn on lhs of or, and banning direct or as return of function. For ability to express such types, a parenthesized type is added.
