 This is a natural generalization of RAs over COFEs.

 The reason we store a chain, rather than a single element, is that $\agm(\cofe)$ needs to be a COFE itself, so we need to be able to give a limit for every chain of $\agm(\cofe)$.
 However, given such a chain, we cannot constructively define its limit: Clearly, the $V$ of the limit is the limit of the $V$ of the chain.
 But what to pick for the actual data, for the element of $\cofe$?
