## Typing
### Basic types
* `uintN`: `N`-bit unsigned integer (where `N in [8, 16, 32, 64, 128, 256]`)
* `bool`: `True` or `False`
* `"uintN"`: `N`-bit unsigned integer (where `N in [8, 16, 32, 64, 128, 256]`)
* `"bool"`: `True` or `False`
### Composite types
* **container**: ordered heterogenous collection of values
* key-pair curly bracket notation `{}`, e.g. `{'foo': "uint64", 'bar': "bool"}`
* **tuple**: ordered fixed-length homogeneous collection of values
* angle bracket notation `[N]`, e.g. `uint64[N]`
* angle bracket notation `[type, N]`, e.g. `["uint64", N]`
* **list**: ordered variable-length homogenous collection of values
* angle bracket notation `[]`, e.g. `uint64[]`
* angle bracket notation `[type]`, e.g. `["uint64"]`
### Aliases
For convenience we alias:
* `byte` to `uint8` (this is a basic type)
* `bytes` to `byte[]` (this is *not* a basic type)
* `bytesN` to `byte[N]` (this is *not* a basic type)
* `"byte"` to `"uint8"` (this is a basic type)
* `"bytes"` to `["byte"]` (this is *not* a basic type)
* `"bytesN"` to `["byte", N]` (this is *not* a basic type)
## Serialization
We recursively define the `serialize` function which consumes an object `value` (of the type specified) and returns a bytestring of type `bytes`.

*Note*: In the function definitions below (`serialize`, `hash_tree_root`, `signed_root`, etc.) objects implicitly carry their type.

* `pack`: Given ordered objects of the same basic type, serialize them, pack them into `BYTES_PER_CHUNK`-byte chunks, right-pad the last chunk with zero bytes, and return the chunks.
* `merkleize`: Given ordered `BYTES_PER_CHUNK`-byte chunks, if necessary append zero chunks so that the number of chunks is a power of two, Merkleize the chunks, and return the root.
* `mix_in_length`: Given a Merkle root `root` and a length `length` (`uint256` little-endian serialization) return `hash(root + length)`.
* `mix_in_length`: Given a Merkle root `root` and a length `length` (`"uint256"` little-endian serialization) return `hash(root + length)`.

## Self-signed containers
Let `value` be a self-signed container object. The convention is that the signature (e.g. a `bytes96` BLS12-381 signature) be the last field of `value`. Further, the signed message for `value` is `signed_root(value) = hash_tree_root(truncate_last(value))` where `truncate_last` truncates the last element of `value`.
