/// The fixpoint of `Syntax`.
///
/// `Syntax` is a non-recursive type parameterized by the type of its child nodes. Instantiating it to `Fix` makes it into a recursive tree by tying the knoteach child node of `Syntax<Fix, A>` is represented by a `Fix` which in turn contains a `Syntax<Fix, A>`. So in the same way that the `fix` function allows one to tie a non-recursive function into a recursive one, `Fix` allows one to tie a non-recursive type into a recursive one. Unfortunately, due to Swifts lack of higher-rank types, this cannot currently be abstracted over the type which is made recursive, and thus it is hard-coded to `Syntax<Fix, A>` rather than provided by a type parameter `F` applied to `Fix<F>`.
