Hi. I want to define my own data types that could be used with Crystal primitive types interchangeably for instance I want to be able to do the following types.cr file struct Epoch; def to_time; end def other_func; end end alias E = Epoch models.cr file struct Model property x :…

How do I extend the datatype system
