Add right-to-left rule for pattern bindings
Fix #18323 by adding a few lines of code to handle non-recursive
pattern bindings. see GHC.Tc.Gen.Bind
Note [Special case for non-recursive pattern bindings]
Alas, this confused the pattern-match overlap checker; see #18323.
Note that this patch only affects pattern bindings like that
for (x,y) in this program
combine :: (forall a . [a] -> a) -> [forall a. a -> a]
-> ((forall a . [a] -> a), [forall a. a -> a])
breaks = let (x,y) = combine head ids
in x y True
We need ImpredicativeTypes for those [forall a. a->a] types to be
valid. And with ImpredicativeTypes the old, unprincipled "allow
unification variables to unify with a polytype" story actually
works quite well. So this test compiles fine (if delicatedly) with
old GHCs; but not with QuickLook unless we add this patch
