Your `with_type` assertion is wrong: it should be `list(list(int))', not
`list(int)'.

You can work this out from the signature of solutions/1: solutions/1
takes a predicate that computes a result of type T and returns the list
of all solutions to that predicate, which of course has type list(T).
In this case T = list(int) so solutions will return a list(list(int)).

The slightly confusing error message you got assumes you meant what you
said when you wrote ``with_type` list(int)'!
