the same as zonkTcTypeToType. (If we distinguished TcType from
Type, this issue would have been a type error!)
-Solution: (see #15552 for other variants)
-
- One possible solution is simply not to do the short-circuiting.
- That has less sharing, but maybe sharing is rare. And indeed,
- that turns out to be viable from a perf point of view
-
- But the code implements something a bit better
-
- * ZonkEnv contains ze_meta_tv_env, which maps
- from a MetaTyVar (unification variable)
- to a Type (not a TcType)
-
- * In zonkTyVarOcc, we check this map to see if we have zonked
- this variable before. If so, use the previous answer; if not
- zonk it, and extend the map.
-
- * The map is of course stateful, held in a TcRef. (That is unlike
- the treatment of lexically-scoped variables in ze_tv_env and
- ze_id_env.)
-
- Is the extra work worth it? Some non-sytematic perf measurements
- suggest that compiler allocation is reduced overall (by 0.5% or so)
- but compile time really doesn't change.

+ - if we get a hit we use the zonked result;
+ - if not, in zonk_meta we see if the variable is `Indirect ty`,
+ zonk that, and update the map (in finish_meta)
+ But Nota Bene that the "update map" step must re-read the TcRef
+ (or, more precisely, use updTcRef) because the zonking of the
+ `Indirect ty` may have added lots of stuff to the map. See
+ #19668 for an example where this made an asymptotic difference!
+
+Is it worth the extra work of carrying ze_meta_tv_env? Some
+non-systematic perf measurements suggest that compiler allocation is
+reduced overall (by 0.5% or so) but compile time really doesn't
+change. But in some cases it makes a HUGE difference: see test
+T9198 and #19668. So yes, it seems worth it.
