* New language feature: domain checks, which check whether a function

  argument has a valid value, i.e., is in a certain domain.  E.g.,

    { foo : [true false]
    , bar : ["a" "b" "c"]
    }: ...

  This previously could be done using assertions, but domain checks
  will allow the buildfarm to automatically extract the configuration
  space from functions.
