Disallow more subtypes

General Usage
1 
abstract type Foo end

struct FooA <: Foo 
x
end

struct FooB <: Foo
x
end

I want to disallow any other concrete types of Foo. Is that possible?

Not really. What is your use case for that?

if you are using Foo for dispatch, you could do:

struct FooA
  x
end

struct FooB
  x
end

const Foo = Union{FooA,FooB}

that will make Foo impossible to extend, but available for dispatch
