choosenim '#v0.17.0' fails
I installed choosenim on Ubuntu 16.04 using
curl https://nim-lang.org/choosenim/init.sh -sSf | sh
When I try to switch to 0.17.0 using
choosenim '#v0.17.0'
I get the following exception:
... lib/system.nim(408, 27) Error: type mismatch: got (type int)
... but expected one of:
... proc high[T](x: T): T
(I tried to follow the "Let's Make a Game in Nim" video by Jez Impbox: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EwM1Z3WdqjM)

Sadly, there isn't much choosenim can do here. If you want 0.17.0 then choosenim 0.17.0 should work though, perhaps choosenim can suggest that in this instance.
choosenim 0.17.0 works -- and looks nice, too. Thank you :)
Maybe it is enough to add a comment to the video. @ftsf
