TODO. The type of compact∙ ordinals is injective. The type of ordinals
that have infs of complemented subsets is injective. These two results
are already proved in other modules, but these results are not
explicitly stated. We should refactor that code.

Alternatively, we can show that the type of ordinals is
(algebraically) injective using suprema. Indeed, the suprema make it a
sup-lattice and in particular a pointed dcpo, and the carrier of any
pointed dcpo is always injective.
