There is a programming language in which types are sets (of values) and that is
designed all on this interpretation (even though integer values are primitive
and not encoded as you suggest).
The language is CDuce where, besides basic function and product types, you
have also (set-theoretic)

I have a question for those among you that are more knowledgeable about Haskell
or other functional programming languages, or related mathematics or set theory
and such.
I recall reading that at least in certain math/logic papers that a programming
language type system can be defined
