Note [Typechecking rules]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
We *infer* the typ of the LHS, and use that type to *check* the type of
the RHS.  That means that higher-rank rules work reasonably well. Here's
an example (test simplCore/should_compile/rule2.hs) produced by Roman:

   foo :: (forall m. m a -> m b) -> m a -> m b
   foo f = ...

   bar :: (forall m. m a -> m a) -> m a -> m a
   bar f = ...

   {-# RULES "foo/bar" foo = bar #-}

He wanted the rule to typecheck.

Note [TcLevel in type checking rules]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Bringing type variables into scope naturally bumps the TcLevel. Thus, we type
check the term-level binders in a bumped level, and we must accordingly bump
the level whenever these binders are in scope.

Note [Re-quantify type variables in rules]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Consider this example from #17710:

  foo :: forall k (a :: k) (b :: k). Proxy a -> Proxy b
  foo x = Proxy
  {-# RULES "foo" forall (x :: Proxy (a :: k)). foo x = Proxy #-}

Written out in more detail, the "foo" rewrite rule looks like this:

  forall k (a :: k). forall (x :: Proxy (a :: k)). foo @k @a @b0 x = Proxy @k @b0

Where b0 is a unification variable. Where should b0 be quantified? We have to
quantify it after k, since (b0 :: k). But generalization usually puts inferred
type variables (such as b0) at the /front/ of the telescope! This creates a
conflict.

One option is to simply throw an error, per the principles of
Note [Naughty quantification candidates] in GHC.Tc.Utils.TcMType. This is what would happen
if we were generalising over a normal type signature. On the other hand, the
types in a rewrite rule aren't quite "normal", since the notions of specified
and inferred type variables aren't applicable.

A more permissive design (and the design that GHC uses) is to simply requantify
all of the type variables. That is, we would end up with this:

  forall k (a :: k) (b :: k). forall (x :: Proxy (a :: k)). foo @k @a @b x = Proxy @k @b

It's a bit strange putting the generalized variable `b` after the user-written
variables `k` and `a`. But again, the notion of specificity is not relevant to
rewrite rules, since one cannot "visibly apply" a rewrite rule. This design not
only makes "foo" typecheck, but it also makes the implementation simpler.

See also Note [Generalising in tcTyFamInstEqnGuts] in GHC.Tc.TyCl, which
explains a very similar design when generalising over a type family instance
equation.

Note [The SimplifyRule Plan]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Example.  Consider the following left-hand side of a rule
        f (x == y) (y > z) = ...
If we typecheck this expression we get constraints
        d1 :: Ord a, d2 :: Eq a
We do NOT want to "simplify" to the LHS
        forall x::a, y::a, z::a, d1::Ord a.
          f ((==) (eqFromOrd d1) x y) ((>) d1 y z) = ...
Instead we want
        forall x::a, y::a, z::a, d1::Ord a, d2::Eq a.
          f ((==) d2 x y) ((>) d1 y z) = ...

Here is another example:
        fromIntegral :: (Integral a, Num b) => a -> b
        {-# RULES "foo"  fromIntegral = id :: Int -> Int #-}
In the rule, a=b=Int, and Num Int is a superclass of Integral Int. But
we *dont* want to get
        forall dIntegralInt.
           fromIntegral Int Int dIntegralInt (scsel dIntegralInt) = id Int
because the scsel will mess up RULE matching.  Instead we want
        forall dIntegralInt, dNumInt.
          fromIntegral Int Int dIntegralInt dNumInt = id Int

Even if we have
        g (x == y) (y == z) = ..
where the two dictionaries are *identical*, we do NOT WANT
        forall x::a, y::a, z::a, d1::Eq a
          f ((==) d1 x y) ((>) d1 y z) = ...
because that will only match if the dict args are (visibly) equal.
Instead we want to quantify over the dictionaries separately.

In short, simplifyRuleLhs must *only* squash equalities, leaving
all dicts unchanged, with absolutely no sharing.

Also note that we can't solve the LHS constraints in isolation:
Example   foo :: Ord a => a -> a
          foo_spec :: Int -> Int
          {-# RULE "foo"  foo = foo_spec #-}
Here, it's the RHS that fixes the type variable

HOWEVER, under a nested implication things are different
Consider
  f :: (forall a. Eq a => a->a) -> Bool -> ...
  {-# RULES "foo" forall (v::forall b. Eq b => b->b).
       f b True = ...
    #-}
Here we *must* solve the wanted (Eq a) from the given (Eq a)
resulting from skolemising the argument type of g.  So we
revert to SimplCheck when going under an implication.


--------- So the SimplifyRule Plan is this -----------------------

* Step 0: typecheck the LHS and RHS to get constraints from each

* Step 1: Simplify the LHS and RHS constraints all together in one bag,
          but /discarding/ the simplified constraints. We do this only
          to discover all unification equalities.

* Step 2: Zonk the ORIGINAL (unsimplified) LHS constraints, to take
          advantage of those unifications

* Setp 3: Partition the LHS constraints into the ones we will
          quantify over, and the others.
          See Note [RULE quantification over equalities]

* Step 4: Decide on the type variables to quantify over

* Step 5: Simplify the LHS and RHS constraints separately, using the
          quantified constraints as givens

Note [Solve order for RULES]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In step 1 above, we need to be a bit careful about solve order.
Consider
   f :: Int -> T Int
   type instance T Int = Bool

   RULE f 3 = True

From the RULE we get
   lhs-constraints:  T Int ~ alpha
   rhs-constraints:  Bool ~ alpha
where 'alpha' is the type that connects the two.  If we glom them
all together, and solve the RHS constraint first, we might solve
with alpha := Bool.  But then we'd end up with a RULE like

    RULE: f 3 |> (co :: T Int ~ Bool) = True

which is terrible.  We want

    RULE: f 3 = True |> (sym co :: Bool ~ T Int)

So we are careful to solve the LHS constraints first, and *then* the
RHS constraints.  Actually much of this is done by the on-the-fly
constraint solving, so the same order must be observed in
tcRule.


Note [RULE quantification over equalities]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Deciding which equalities to quantify over is tricky:
 * We do not want to quantify over insoluble equalities (Int ~ Bool)
    (a) because we prefer to report a LHS type error
    (b) because if such things end up in 'givens' we get a bogus
        "inaccessible code" error

 * But we do want to quantify over things like (a ~ F b), where
   F is a type function.

The difficulty is that it's hard to tell what is insoluble!
So we see whether the simplification step yielded any type errors,
and if so refrain from quantifying over *any* equalities.

Note [Quantifying over coercion holes]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Equality constraints from the LHS will emit coercion hole Wanteds.
These don't have a name, so we can't quantify over them directly.
Instead, because we really do want to quantify here, invent a new
EvVar for the coercion, fill the hole with the invented EvVar, and
then quantify over the EvVar. Not too tricky -- just some
impedance matching, really.

Note [Simplify cloned constraints]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
At this stage, we're simplifying constraints only for insolubility
and for unification. Note that all the evidence is quickly discarded.
We use a clone of the real constraint. If we don't do this,
then RHS coercion-hole constraints get filled in, only to get filled
in *again* when solving the implications emitted from tcRule. That's
terrible, so we avoid the problem by cloning the constraints.
