When you try to expand `Comment` you have to expand `Responses` which needs to expand `Comment` which needs to expand `Responses`, etc.

So this is just a fancy case of a self-recursive type alias. The solution is the same. Somewhere in that cycle, you need to define an actual `type` to end the infinite expansion.
