Note [Canonicalization]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Canonicalization converts a simple constraint to a canonical form. It is
unary (i.e. treats individual constraints one at a time).

Constraints originating from user-written code come into being as
CNonCanonicals. We know nothing about these constraints. So, first:

     Classify CNonCanoncal constraints, depending on whether they
     are equalities, class predicates, or other.

Then proceed depending on the shape of the constraint. Generally speaking,
each constraint gets rewritten and then decomposed into one of several forms
(see type Ct in GHC.Tc.Types).

When an already-canonicalized constraint gets kicked out of the inert set,
it must be recanonicalized. But we know a bit about its shape from the
last time through, so we can skip the classification step.

{- Note [The superclass story]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
We need to add superclass constraints for two reasons:

* For givens [G], they give us a route to proof.  E.g.
    f :: Ord a => a -> Bool
    f x = x == x
  We get a Wanted (Eq a), which can only be solved from the superclass
  of the Given (Ord a).

* For wanteds [W], and deriveds [WD], [D], they may give useful
  functional dependencies.  E.g.
     class C a b | a -> b where ...
     class C a b => D a b where ...
  Now a [W] constraint (D Int beta) has (C Int beta) as a superclass
  and that might tell us about beta, via C's fundeps.  We can get this
  by generating a [D] (C Int beta) constraint.  It's derived because
  we don't actually have to cough up any evidence for it; it's only there
  to generate fundep equalities.

See Note [Why adding superclasses can help].

For these reasons we want to generate superclass constraints for both
Givens and Wanteds. But:

* (Minor) they are often not needed, so generating them aggressively
  is a waste of time.

* (Major) if we want recursive superclasses, there would be an infinite
  number of them.  Here is a real-life example (#10318);

     class (Frac (Frac a) ~ Frac a,
            Fractional (Frac a),
            IntegralDomain (Frac a))
         => IntegralDomain a where
      type Frac a :: *

  Notice that IntegralDomain has an associated type Frac, and one
  of IntegralDomain's superclasses is another IntegralDomain constraint.

So here's the plan:

1. Eagerly generate superclasses for given (but not wanted)
   constraints; see Note [Eagerly expand given superclasses].
   This is done using mkStrictSuperClasses in canClassNC, when
   we take a non-canonical Given constraint and cannonicalise it.

   However stop if you encounter the same class twice.  That is,
   mkStrictSuperClasses expands eagerly, but has a conservative
   termination condition: see Note [Expanding superclasses] in GHC.Tc.Utils.TcType.

2. Solve the wanteds as usual, but do no further expansion of
   superclasses for canonical CDictCans in solveSimpleGivens or
   solveSimpleWanteds; Note [Danger of adding superclasses during solving]

   However, /do/ continue to eagerly expand superclasses for new /given/
   /non-canonical/ constraints (canClassNC does this).  As #12175
   showed, a type-family application can expand to a class constraint,
   and we want to see its superclasses for just the same reason as
   Note [Eagerly expand given superclasses].

3. If we have any remaining unsolved wanteds
        (see Note [When superclasses help] in GHC.Tc.Types.Constraint)
   try harder: take both the Givens and Wanteds, and expand
   superclasses again.  See the calls to expandSuperClasses in
   GHC.Tc.Solver.simpl_loop and solveWanteds.

   This may succeed in generating (a finite number of) extra Givens,
   and extra Deriveds. Both may help the proof.

3a An important wrinkle: only expand Givens from the current level.
   Two reasons:
      - We only want to expand it once, and that is best done at
        the level it is bound, rather than repeatedly at the leaves
        of the implication tree
      - We may be inside a type where we can't create term-level
        evidence anyway, so we can't superclass-expand, say,
        (a ~ b) to get (a ~# b).  This happened in #15290.

4. Go round to (2) again.  This loop (2,3,4) is implemented
   in GHC.Tc.Solver.simpl_loop.

The cc_pend_sc flag in a CDictCan records whether the superclasses of
this constraint have been expanded.  Specifically, in Step 3 we only
expand superclasses for constraints with cc_pend_sc set to true (i.e.
isPendingScDict holds).

Why do we do this?  Two reasons:

* To avoid repeated work, by repeatedly expanding the superclasses of
  same constraint,

* To terminate the above loop, at least in the -XNoRecursiveSuperClasses
  case.  If there are recursive superclasses we could, in principle,
  expand forever, always encountering new constraints.

When we take a CNonCanonical or CIrredCan, but end up classifying it
as a CDictCan, we set the cc_pend_sc flag to False.

Note [Superclass loops]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Suppose we have
  class C a => D a
  class D a => C a

Then, when we expand superclasses, we'll get back to the self-same
predicate, so we have reached a fixpoint in expansion and there is no
point in fruitlessly expanding further.  This case just falls out from
our strategy.  Consider
  f :: C a => a -> Bool
  f x = x==x
Then canClassNC gets the [G] d1: C a constraint, and eager emits superclasses
G] d2: D a, [G] d3: C a (psc).  (The "psc" means it has its sc_pend flag set.)
When processing d3 we find a match with d1 in the inert set, and we always
keep the inert item (d1) if possible: see Note [Replacement vs keeping] in
GHC.Tc.Solver.Interact.  So d3 dies a quick, happy death.

Note [Eagerly expand given superclasses]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In step (1) of Note [The superclass story], why do we eagerly expand
Given superclasses by one layer?  (By "one layer" we mean expand transitively
until you meet the same class again -- the conservative criterion embodied
in expandSuperClasses.  So a "layer" might be a whole stack of superclasses.)
We do this eagerly for Givens mainly because of some very obscure
cases like this:

   instance Bad a => Eq (T a)

   f :: (Ord (T a)) => blah
   f x = ....needs Eq (T a), Ord (T a)....

Here if we can't satisfy (Eq (T a)) from the givens we'll use the
instance declaration; but then we are stuck with (Bad a).  Sigh.
This is really a case of non-confluent proofs, but to stop our users
complaining we expand one layer in advance.

Note [Instance and Given overlap] in GHC.Tc.Solver.Interact.

We also want to do this if we have

   f :: F (T a) => blah

where
   type instance F (T a) = Ord (T a)

So we may need to do a little work on the givens to expose the
class that has the superclasses.  That's why the superclass
expansion for Givens happens in canClassNC.

This same scenario happens with quantified constraints, whose superclasses
are also eagerly expanded. Test case: typecheck/should_compile/T16502b
These are handled in canForAllNC, analogously to canClassNC.

Note [Why adding superclasses can help]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Examples of how adding superclasses can help:

    --- Example 1
        class C a b | a -> b
    Suppose we want to solve
         [G] C a b
         [W] C a beta
    Then adding [D] beta~b will let us solve it.

    -- Example 2 (similar but using a type-equality superclass)
        class (F a ~ b) => C a b
    And try to sllve:
         [G] C a b
         [W] C a beta
    Follow the superclass rules to add
         [G] F a ~ b
         [D] F a ~ beta
    Now we get [D] beta ~ b, and can solve that.

    -- Example (tcfail138)
      class L a b | a -> b
      class (G a, L a b) => C a b

      instance C a b' => G (Maybe a)
      instance C a b  => C (Maybe a) a
      instance L (Maybe a) a

    When solving the superclasses of the (C (Maybe a) a) instance, we get
      [G] C a b, and hance by superclasses, [G] G a, [G] L a b
      [W] G (Maybe a)
    Use the instance decl to get
      [W] C a beta
    Generate its derived superclass
      [D] L a beta.  Now using fundeps, combine with [G] L a b to get
      [D] beta ~ b
    which is what we want.

Note [Danger of adding superclasses during solving]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Here's a serious, but now out-dated example, from #4497:

   class Num (RealOf t) => Normed t
   type family RealOf x

Assume the generated wanted constraint is:
   [W] RealOf e ~ e
   [W] Normed e

If we were to be adding the superclasses during simplification we'd get:
   [W] RealOf e ~ e
   [W] Normed e
   [D] RealOf e ~ fuv
   [D] Num fuv
==>
   e := fuv, Num fuv, Normed fuv, RealOf fuv ~ fuv

While looks exactly like our original constraint. If we add the
superclass of (Normed fuv) again we'd loop.  By adding superclasses
definitely only once, during canonicalisation, this situation can't
happen.

Mind you, now that Wanteds cannot rewrite Derived, I think this particular
situation can't happen.

Note [Nested quantified constraint superclasses]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Consider (typecheck/should_compile/T17202)

  class C1 a
  class (forall c. C1 c) => C2 a
  class (forall b. (b ~ F a) => C2 a) => C3 a

Elsewhere in the code, we get a [G] g1 :: C3 a. We expand its superclass
to get [G] g2 :: (forall b. (b ~ F a) => C2 a). This constraint has a
superclass, as well. But we now must be careful: we cannot just add
(forall c. C1 c) as a Given, because we need to remember g2's context.
That new constraint is Given only when forall b. (b ~ F a) is true.

It's tempting to make the new Given be (forall b. (b ~ F a) => forall c. C1 c),
but that's problematic, because it's nested, and ForAllPred is not capable
of representing a nested quantified constraint. (We could change ForAllPred
to allow this, but the solution in this Note is much more local and simpler.)

So, we swizzle it around to get (forall b c. (b ~ F a) => C1 c).

More generally, if we are expanding the superclasses of
  g0 :: forall tvs. theta => cls tys
and find a superclass constraint
  forall sc_tvs. sc_theta => sc_inner_pred
we must have a selector
  sel_id :: forall cls_tvs. cls cls_tvs -> forall sc_tvs. sc_theta => sc_inner_pred
and thus build
  g_sc :: forall tvs sc_tvs. theta => sc_theta => sc_inner_pred
  g_sc = /\ tvs. /\ sc_tvs. \ theta_ids. \ sc_theta_ids.
         sel_id tys (g0 tvs theta_ids) sc_tvs sc_theta_ids

Actually, we cheat a bit by eta-reducing: note that sc_theta_ids are both the
last bound variables and the last arguments. This avoids the need to produce
the sc_theta_ids at all. So our final construction is

  g_sc = /\ tvs. /\ sc_tvs. \ theta_ids.
         sel_id tys (g0 tvs theta_ids) sc_tvs

{- Note [Equality superclasses in quantified constraints]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Consider (#15359, #15593, #15625)
  f :: (forall a. theta => a ~ b) => stuff

It's a bit odd to have a local, quantified constraint for `(a~b)`,
but some people want such a thing (see the tickets). And for
Coercible it is definitely useful
  f :: forall m. (forall p q. Coercible p q => Coercible (m p) (m q)))
                 => stuff

Moreover it's not hard to arrange; we just need to look up /equality/
constraints in the quantified-constraint environment, which we do in
GHC.Tc.Solver.Interact.doTopReactOther.

There is a wrinkle though, in the case where 'theta' is empty, so
we have
  f :: (forall a. a~b) => stuff

Now, potentially, the superclass machinery kicks in, in
makeSuperClasses, giving us a a second quantified constraint
       (forall a. a ~# b)
BUT this is an unboxed value!  And nothing has prepared us for
dictionary "functions" that are unboxed.  Actually it does just
about work, but the simplifier ends up with stuff like
   case (/\a. eq_sel d) of df -> ...(df @Int)...
and fails to simplify that any further.  And it doesn't satisfy
isPredTy any more.

So for now we simply decline to take superclasses in the quantified
case.  Instead we have a special case in GHC.Tc.Solver.Interact.doTopReactOther,
which looks for primitive equalities specially in the quantified
constraints.

See also Note [Evidence for quantified constraints] in GHC.Core.Predicate.

{- Note [Quantified constraints]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The -XQuantifiedConstraints extension allows type-class contexts like this:

  data Rose f x = Rose x (f (Rose f x))

  instance (Eq a, forall b. Eq b => Eq (f b))
        => Eq (Rose f a)  where
    (Rose x1 rs1) == (Rose x2 rs2) = x1==x2 && rs1 == rs2

Note the (forall b. Eq b => Eq (f b)) in the instance contexts.
This quantified constraint is needed to solve the
 [W] (Eq (f (Rose f x)))
constraint which arises form the (==) definition.

The wiki page is
  https://gitlab.haskell.org/ghc/ghc/wikis/quantified-constraints
which in turn contains a link to the GHC Proposal where the change
is specified, and a Haskell Symposium paper about it.

We implement two main extensions to the design in the paper:

 1. We allow a variable in the instance head, e.g.
      f :: forall m a. (forall b. m b) => D (m a)
    Notice the 'm' in the head of the quantified constraint, not
    a class.

 2. We support superclasses to quantified constraints.
    For example (contrived):
      f :: (Ord b, forall b. Ord b => Ord (m b)) => m a -> m a -> Bool
      f x y = x==y
    Here we need (Eq (m a)); but the quantified constraint deals only
    with Ord.  But we can make it work by using its superclass.

Here are the moving parts
  * Language extension {-# LANGUAGE QuantifiedConstraints #-}
    and add it to ghc-boot-th:GHC.LanguageExtensions.Type.Extension

  * A new form of evidence, EvDFun, that is used to discharge
    such wanted constraints

  * checkValidType gets some changes to accept forall-constraints
    only in the right places.

  * Predicate.Pred gets a new constructor ForAllPred, and
    and classifyPredType analyses a PredType to decompose
    the new forall-constraints

  * GHC.Tc.Solver.Monad.InertCans gets an extra field, inert_insts,
    which holds all the Given forall-constraints.  In effect,
    such Given constraints are like local instance decls.

  * When trying to solve a class constraint, via
    GHC.Tc.Solver.Interact.matchInstEnv, use the InstEnv from inert_insts
    so that we include the local Given forall-constraints
    in the lookup.  (See GHC.Tc.Solver.Monad.getInstEnvs.)

  * GHC.Tc.Solver.Canonical.canForAll deals with solving a
    forall-constraint.  See
       Note [Solving a Wanted forall-constraint]

  * We augment the kick-out code to kick out an inert
    forall constraint if it can be rewritten by a new
    type equality; see GHC.Tc.Solver.Monad.kick_out_rewritable

Note that a quantified constraint is never /inferred/
(by GHC.Tc.Solver.simplifyInfer).  A function can only have a
quantified constraint in its type if it is given an explicit
type signature.

{- Note [Solving a Wanted forall-constraint]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Solving a wanted forall (quantified) constraint
  [W] df :: forall ab. (Eq a, Ord b) => C x a b
is delightfully easy.   Just build an implication constraint
    forall ab. (g1::Eq a, g2::Ord b) => [W] d :: C x a
and discharge df thus:
    df = /\ab. \g1 g2. let <binds> in d
where <binds> is filled in by solving the implication constraint.
All the machinery is to hand; there is little to do.

Note [Solving a Given forall-constraint]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
For a Given constraint
  [G] df :: forall ab. (Eq a, Ord b) => C x a b
we just add it to TcS's local InstEnv of known instances,
via addInertForall.  Then, if we look up (C x Int Bool), say,
we'll find a match in the InstEnv.

Note [Canonicalising equalities]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In order to canonicalise an equality, we look at the structure of the
two types at hand, looking for similarities. A difficulty is that the
types may look dissimilar before rewriting but similar after rewriting.
However, we don't just want to jump in and rewrite right away, because
this might be wasted effort. So, after looking for similarities and failing,
we rewrite and then try again. Of course, we don't want to loop, so we
track whether or not we've already rewritten.

It is conceivable to do a better job at tracking whether or not a type
is rewritten, but this is left as future work. (Mar '15)


Note [Decomposing FunTy]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
can_eq_nc' may attempt to decompose a FunTy that is un-zonked.  This
means that we may very well have a FunTy containing a type of some
unknown kind. For instance, we may have,

    FunTy (a :: k) Int

Where k is a unification variable. So the calls to getRuntimeRep_maybe may
fail (returning Nothing).  In that case we'll fall through, zonk, and try again.
Zonking should fill the variable k, meaning that decomposition will succeed the
second time around.

Also note that we require the AnonArgFlag to match.  This will stop
us decomposing
   (Int -> Bool)  ~  (Show a => blah)
It's as if we treat (->) and (=>) as different type constructors.

{- Note [Unsolved equalities]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
If we have an unsolved equality like
  (a b ~R# Int)
that is not necessarily insoluble!  Maybe 'a' will turn out to be a newtype.
So we want to make it a potentially-soluble Irred not an insoluble one.
Missing this point is what caused #15431

Note [ForAllTy and typechecker equality]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Should GHC type-check the following program (adapted from #15740)?

  {-# LANGUAGE PolyKinds, ... #-}
  data D a
  type family F :: forall k. k -> Type
  type instance F = D

Due to the way F is declared, any instance of F must have a right-hand side
whose kind is equal to `forall k. k -> Type`. The kind of D is
`forall {k}. k -> Type`, which is very close, but technically uses distinct
Core:

  -----------------------------------------------------------
  | Source Haskell    | Core                                |
  -----------------------------------------------------------
  | forall  k.  <...> | ForAllTy (Bndr k Specified) (<...>) |
  | forall {k}. <...> | ForAllTy (Bndr k Inferred)  (<...>) |
  -----------------------------------------------------------

We could deem these kinds to be unequal, but that would imply rejecting
programs like the one above. Whether a kind variable binder ends up being
specified or inferred can be somewhat subtle, however, especially for kinds
that aren't explicitly written out in the source code (like in D above).
For now, we decide to not make the specified/inferred status of an invisible
type variable binder affect GHC's notion of typechecker equality
(see Note [Typechecker equality vs definitional equality] in
GHC.Tc.Utils.TcType). That is, we have the following:

  --------------------------------------------------
  | Type 1            | Type 2            | Equal? |
  --------------------|-----------------------------
  | forall k. <...>   | forall k. <...>   | Yes    |
  |                   | forall {k}. <...> | Yes    |
  |                   | forall k -> <...> | No     |
  --------------------------------------------------
  | forall {k}. <...> | forall k. <...>   | Yes    |
  |                   | forall {k}. <...> | Yes    |
  |                   | forall k -> <...> | No     |
  --------------------------------------------------
  | forall k -> <...> | forall k. <...>   | No     |
  |                   | forall {k}. <...> | No     |
  |                   | forall k -> <...> | Yes    |
  --------------------------------------------------

We implement this nuance by using the GHC.Types.Var.sameVis function in
GHC.Tc.Solver.Canonical.canEqNC and GHC.Tc.Utils.TcType.tcEqType, which
respect typechecker equality. sameVis puts both forms of invisible type
variable binders into the same equivalence class.

Note that we do /not/ use sameVis in GHC.Core.Type.eqType, which implements
/definitional/ equality, a slighty more coarse-grained notion of equality
(see Note [Non-trivial definitional equality] in GHC.Core.TyCo.Rep) that does
not consider the ArgFlag of ForAllTys at all. That is, eqType would equate all
of forall k. <...>, forall {k}. <...>, and forall k -> <...>.

{- See Note [Unwrap newtypes first]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Consider
  newtype N m a = MkN (m a)
Then N will get a conservative, Nominal role for its second parameter 'a',
because it appears as an argument to the unknown 'm'. Now consider
  [W] N Maybe a  ~R#  N Maybe b

If we decompose, we'll get
  [W] a ~N# b

But if instead we unwrap we'll get
  [W] Maybe a ~R# Maybe b
which in turn gives us
  [W] a ~R# b
which is easier to satisfy.

Bottom line: unwrap newtypes before decomposing them!
c.f. #9123 comment:52,53 for a compelling example.

Note [Newtypes can blow the stack]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Suppose we have

  newtype X = MkX (Int -> X)
  newtype Y = MkY (Int -> Y)

and now wish to prove

  [W] X ~R Y

This Wanted will loop, expanding out the newtypes ever deeper looking
for a solid match or a solid discrepancy. Indeed, there is something
appropriate to this looping, because X and Y *do* have the same representation,
in the limit -- they're both (Fix ((->) Int)). However, no finitely-sized
coercion will ever witness it. This loop won't actually cause GHC to hang,
though, because we check our depth when unwrapping newtypes.

Note [Eager reflexivity check]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Suppose we have

  newtype X = MkX (Int -> X)

and

  [W] X ~R X

Naively, we would start unwrapping X and end up in a loop. Instead,
we do this eager reflexivity check. This is necessary only for representational
equality because the rewriter technology deals with the similar case
(recursive type families) for nominal equality.

Note that this check does not catch all cases, but it will catch the cases
we're most worried about, types like X above that are actually inhabited.

Here's another place where this reflexivity check is key:
Consider trying to prove (f a) ~R (f a). The AppTys in there can't
be decomposed, because representational equality isn't congruent with respect
to AppTy. So, when canonicalising the equality above, we get stuck and
would normally produce a CIrredCan. However, we really do want to
be able to solve (f a) ~R (f a). So, in the representational case only,
we do a reflexivity check.

(This would be sound in the nominal case, but unnecessary, and I [Richard
E.] am worried that it would slow down the common case.)

Note [Use canEqFailure in canDecomposableTyConApp]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
We must use canEqFailure, not canEqHardFailure here, because there is
the possibility of success if working with a representational equality.
Here is one case:

  type family TF a where TF Char = Bool
  data family DF a
  newtype instance DF Bool = MkDF Int

Suppose we are canonicalising (Int ~R DF (TF a)), where we don't yet
know `a`. This is *not* a hard failure, because we might soon learn
that `a` is, in fact, Char, and then the equality succeeds.

Here is another case:

  [G] Age ~R Int

where Age's constructor is not in scope. We don't want to report
an "inaccessible code" error in the context of this Given!

For example, see typecheck/should_compile/T10493, repeated here:

  import Data.Ord (Down)  -- no constructor

  foo :: Coercible (Down Int) Int => Down Int -> Int
  foo = coerce

That should compile, but only because we use canEqFailure and not
canEqHardFailure.

Note [Decomposing equality]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
If we have a constraint (of any flavour and role) that looks like
T tys1 ~ T tys2, what can we conclude about tys1 and tys2? The answer,
of course, is "it depends". This Note spells it all out.

In this Note, "decomposition" refers to taking the constraint
  [fl] (T tys1 ~X T tys2)
(for some flavour fl and some role X) and replacing it with
  [fls'] (tys1 ~Xs' tys2)
where that notation indicates a list of new constraints, where the
new constraints may have different flavours and different roles.

The key property to consider is injectivity. When decomposing a Given, the
decomposition is sound if and only if T is injective in all of its type
arguments. When decomposing a Wanted, the decomposition is sound (assuming the
correct roles in the produced equality constraints), but it may be a guess --
that is, an unforced decision by the constraint solver. Decomposing Wanteds
over injective TyCons does not entail guessing. But sometimes we want to
decompose a Wanted even when the TyCon involved is not injective! (See below.)

So, in broad strokes, we want this rule:

(*) Decompose a constraint (T tys1 ~X T tys2) if and only if T is injective
at role X.

Pursuing the details requires exploring three axes:
* Flavour: Given vs. Derived vs. Wanted
* Role: Nominal vs. Representational
* TyCon species: datatype vs. newtype vs. data family vs. type family vs. type variable

(A type variable isn't a TyCon, of course, but it's convenient to put the AppTy case
in the same table.)

Right away, we can say that Derived behaves just as Wanted for the purposes
of decomposition. The difference between Derived and Wanted is the handling of
evidence. Since decomposition in these cases isn't a matter of soundness but of
guessing, we want the same behaviour regardless of evidence.

Here is a table (discussion following) detailing where decomposition of
   (T s1 ... sn) ~r (T t1 .. tn)
is allowed.  The first four lines (Data types ... type family) refer
to TyConApps with various TyCons T; the last line is for AppTy, covering
both where there is a type variable at the head and the case for an over-
saturated type family.

{1}: Type families can be injective in some, but not all, of their arguments,
so we want to do partial decomposition. This is quite different than the way
other decomposition is done, where the decomposed equalities replace the original
one. We thus proceed much like we do with superclasses, emitting new Deriveds
when "decomposing" a partially-injective type family Wanted. Injective type
families have no corresponding evidence of their injectivity, so we cannot
decompose an injective-type-family Given.

{2}: See Note [Decomposing newtypes at representational role]

{3}: Because of the possibility of newtype instances, we must treat
data families like newtypes. See also
Note [Decomposing newtypes at representational role]. See #10534 and
test case typecheck/should_fail/T10534.

{4}: See Note [Decomposing AppTy at representational role]

In the implementation of can_eq_nc and friends, we don't directly pattern
match using lines like in the tables above, as those tables don't cover
all cases (what about PrimTyCon? tuples?). Instead we just ask about injectivity,
boiling the tables above down to rule (*). The exceptions to rule (*) are for
injective type families, which are handled separately from other decompositions,
and the MAYBE entries above.

Note [Decomposing newtypes at representational role]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This note discusses the 'newtype' line in the REPRESENTATIONAL table
in Note [Decomposing equality]. (At nominal role, newtypes are fully
decomposable.)

Here is a representative example of why representational equality over
newtypes is tricky:

  newtype Nt a = Mk Bool         -- NB: a is not used in the RHS,
  type role Nt representational  -- but the user gives it an R role anyway

If we have [W] Nt alpha ~R Nt beta, we *don't* want to decompose to
[W] alpha ~R beta, because it's possible that alpha and beta aren't
representationally equal. Here's another example.

  newtype Nt a = MkNt (Id a)
  type family Id a where Id a = a

  [W] Nt Int ~R Nt Age

Because of its use of a type family, Nt's parameter will get inferred to have
a nominal role. Thus, decomposing the wanted will yield [W] Int ~N Age, which
is unsatisfiable. Unwrapping, though, leads to a solution.

Conclusion:
 * Unwrap newtypes before attempting to decompose them.
   This is done in can_eq_nc'.

It all comes from the fact that newtypes aren't necessarily injective
w.r.t. representational equality.

Furthermore, as explained in Note [NthCo and newtypes] in GHC.Core.TyCo.Rep, we can't use
NthCo on representational coercions over newtypes. NthCo comes into play
only when decomposing givens.

Conclusion:
 * Do not decompose [G] N s ~R N t

Is it sensible to decompose *Wanted* constraints over newtypes?  Yes!
It's the only way we could ever prove (IO Int ~R IO Age), recalling
that IO is a newtype.

However we must be careful.  Consider

  type role Nt representational

  [G] Nt a ~R Nt b       (1)
  [W] NT alpha ~R Nt b   (2)
  [W] alpha ~ a          (3)

If we focus on (3) first, we'll substitute in (2), and now it's
identical to the given (1), so we succeed.  But if we focus on (2)
first, and decompose it, we'll get (alpha ~R b), which is not soluble.
This is exactly like the question of overlapping Givens for class
constraints: see Note [Instance and Given overlap] in GHC.Tc.Solver.Interact.

Conclusion:
  * Decompose [W] N s ~R N t  iff there no given constraint that could
    later solve it.

Note [Decomposing AppTy at representational role]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
We never decompose AppTy at a representational role. For Givens, doing
so is simply unsound: the LRCo coercion former requires a nominal-roled
arguments. (See (1) for an example of why.) For Wanteds, decomposing
would be sound, but it would be a guess, and a non-confluent one at that.

Here is an example:

    [G] g1 :: a ~R b
    [W] w1 :: Maybe b ~R alpha a
    [W] w2 :: alpha ~ Maybe

Suppose we see w1 before w2. If we were to decompose, we would decompose
this to become

    [W] w3 :: Maybe ~R alpha
    [W] w4 :: b ~ a

Note that w4 is *nominal*. A nominal role here is necessary because AppCo
requires a nominal role on its second argument. (See (2) for an example of
why.) If we decomposed w1 to w3,w4, we would then get stuck, because w4
is insoluble. On the other hand, if we see w2 first, setting alpha := Maybe,
all is well, as we can decompose Maybe b ~R Maybe a into b ~R a.

Another example:

    newtype Phant x = MkPhant Int

    [W] w1 :: Phant Int ~R alpha Bool
    [W] w2 :: alpha ~ Phant

If we see w1 first, decomposing would be disastrous, as we would then try
to solve Int ~ Bool. Instead, spotting w2 allows us to simplify w1 to become

    [W] w1' :: Phant Int ~R Phant Bool

which can then (assuming MkPhant is in scope) be simplified to Int ~R Int,
and all will be well. See also Note [Unwrap newtypes first].

Bottom line: never decompose AppTy with representational roles.

(1) Decomposing a Given AppTy over a representational role is simply
unsound. For example, if we have co1 :: Phant Int ~R a Bool (for
the newtype Phant, above), then we surely don't want any relationship
between Int and Bool, lest we also have co2 :: Phant ~ a around.

(2) The role on the AppCo coercion is a conservative choice, because we don't
know the role signature of the function. For example, let's assume we could
have a representational role on the second argument of AppCo. Then, consider

    data G a where    -- G will have a nominal role, as G is a GADT
      MkG :: G Int
    newtype Age = MkAge Int

    co1 :: G ~R a        -- by assumption
    co2 :: Age ~R Int    -- by newtype axiom
    co3 = AppCo co1 co2 :: G Age ~R a Int    -- by our broken AppCo

and now co3 can be used to cast MkG to have type G Age, in violation of
the way GADTs are supposed to work (which is to use nominal equality).

Note [Decomposing TyConApps]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
If we see (T s1 t1 ~ T s2 t2), then we can just decompose to
  (s1 ~ s2, t1 ~ t2)
and push those back into the work list.  But if
  s1 = K k1    s2 = K k2
then we will just decomopose s1~s2, and it might be better to
do so on the spot.  An important special case is where s1=s2,
and we get just Refl.

So canDecomposableTyCon is a fast-path decomposition that uses
unifyWanted etc to short-cut that work.

Note [Canonicalising type applications]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Given (s1 t1) ~ ty2, how should we proceed?
The simple thing is to see if ty2 is of form (s2 t2), and
decompose.

However, over-eager decomposition gives bad error messages
for things like
   a b ~ Maybe c
   e f ~ p -> q
Suppose (in the first example) we already know a~Array.  Then if we
decompose the application eagerly, yielding
   a ~ Maybe
   b ~ c
we get an error        "Can't match Array ~ Maybe",
but we'd prefer to get "Can't match Array b ~ Maybe c".

So instead can_eq_wanted_app rewrites the LHS and RHS, in the hope of
replacing (a b) by (Array b), before using try_decompose_app to
decompose it.

Note [Make sure that insolubles are fully rewritten]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
When an equality fails, we still want to rewrite the equality
all the way down, so that it accurately reflects
 (a) the mutable reference substitution in force at start of solving
 (b) any ty-binds in force at this point in solving
See Note [Rewrite insolubles] in GHC.Tc.Solver.Monad.
And if we don't do this there is a bad danger that
GHC.Tc.Solver.applyTyVarDefaulting will find a variable
that has in fact been substituted.

Note [Do not decompose Given polytype equalities]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Consider [G] (forall a. t1 ~ forall a. t2).  Can we decompose this?
No -- what would the evidence look like?  So instead we simply discard
this given evidence.


Note [Combining insoluble constraints]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
As this point we have an insoluble constraint, like Int~Bool.

 * If it is Wanted, delete it from the cache, so that subsequent
   Int~Bool constraints give rise to separate error messages

 * But if it is Derived, DO NOT delete from cache.  A class constraint
   may get kicked out of the inert set, and then have its functional
   dependency Derived constraints generated a second time. In that
   case we don't want to get two (or more) error messages by
   generating two (or more) insoluble fundep constraints from the same
   class constraint.

Note [No top-level newtypes on RHS of representational equalities]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Suppose we're in this situation:

 work item:  [W] c1 : a ~R b
     inert:  [G] c2 : b ~R Id a

where
  newtype Id a = Id a

We want to make sure canEqCanLHS sees [W] a ~R a, after b is rewritten
and the Id newtype is unwrapped. This is assured by requiring only rewritten
types in canEqCanLHS *and* having the newtype-unwrapping check above
the tyvar check in can_eq_nc.

Note [Occurs check error]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
If we have an occurs check error, are we necessarily hosed? Say our
tyvar is tv1 and the type it appears in is xi2. Because xi2 is function
free, then if we're computing w.r.t. nominal equality, then, yes, we're
hosed. Nothing good can come from (a ~ [a]). If we're computing w.r.t.
representational equality, this is a little subtler. Once again, (a ~R [a])
is a bad thing, but (a ~R N a) for a newtype N might be just fine. This
means also that (a ~ b a) might be fine, because `b` might become a newtype.

So, we must check: does tv1 appear in xi2 under any type constructor
that is generative w.r.t. representational equality? That's what
isInsolubleOccursCheck does.

See also #10715, which induced this addition.

Note [Put touchable variables on the left]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Ticket #10009, a very nasty example:

    f :: (UnF (F b) ~ b) => F b -> ()

    g :: forall a. (UnF (F a) ~ a) => a -> ()
    g _ = f (undefined :: F a)

For g we get [G]  g1 : UnF (F a) ~ a
             [WD] w1 : UnF (F beta) ~ beta
             [WD] w2 : F a ~ F beta

g1 is canonical (CEqCan). It is oriented as above because a is not touchable.
See canEqTyVarFunEq.

w1 is similarly canonical, though the occurs-check in canEqTyVarFunEq is key
here.

w2 is canonical. But which way should it be oriented? As written, we'll be
stuck. When w2 is added to the inert set, nothing gets kicked out: g1 is
a Given (and Wanteds don't rewrite Givens), and w2 doesn't mention the LHS
of w2. We'll thus lose.

But if w2 is swapped around, to

    [D] w3 : F beta ~ F a

then (after emitting shadow Deriveds, etc. See GHC.Tc.Solver.Monad
Note [The improvement story and derived shadows]) we'll kick w1 out of the inert
set (it mentions the LHS of w3). We then rewrite w1 to

    [D] w4 : UnF (F a) ~ beta

and then, using g1, to

    [D] w5 : a ~ beta

at which point we can unify and go on to glory. (This rewriting actually
happens all at once, in the call to rewrite during canonicalisation.)

But what about the new LHS makes it better? It mentions a variable (beta)
that can appear in a Wanted -- a touchable metavariable never appears
in a Given. On the other hand, the original LHS mentioned only variables
that appear in Givens. We thus choose to put variables that can appear
in Wanteds on the left.

Ticket #12526 is another good example of this in action.

{- Note [Do not unify Givens]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Consider this GADT match
   data T a where
      T1 :: T Int
      ...

   f x = case x of
           T1 -> True
           ...

So we get f :: T alpha[1] -> beta[1]
          x :: T alpha[1]
and from the T1 branch we get the implication
   forall[2] (alpha[1] ~ Int) => beta[1] ~ Bool

Now, clearly we don't want to unify alpha:=Int!  Yet at the moment we
process [G] alpha[1] ~ Int, we don't have any given-equalities in the
inert set, and hence there are no given equalities to make alpha untouchable.

NB: if it were alpha[2] ~ Int, this argument wouldn't hold.  But that
never happens: invariant (GivenInv) in Note [TcLevel invariants]
in GHC.Tc.Utils.TcType.

Simple solution: never unify in Givens!

{- Note [Equalities with incompatible kinds]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
What do we do when we have an equality

  (tv :: k1) ~ (rhs :: k2)

where k1 and k2 differ? Easy: we create a coercion that relates k1 and
k2 and use this to cast. To wit, from

  [X] (tv :: k1) ~ (rhs :: k2)

(where [X] is [G], [W], or [D]), we go to

  [noDerived X] co :: k2 ~ k1
  [X]           (tv :: k1) ~ ((rhs |> co) :: k1)

where

  noDerived G = G
  noDerived _ = W

For reasons described in Wrinkle (2) below, we want the [X] constraint to be "blocked";
that is, it should be put aside, and not used to rewrite any other constraint,
until the kind-equality on which it depends (namely 'co' above) is solved.
To achieve this
* The [X] constraint is a CIrredCan
* With a cc_status of BlockedCIS bchs
* Where 'bchs' is the set of "blocking coercion holes".  The blocking coercion
  holes are the free coercion holes of [X]'s type
* When all the blocking coercion holes in the CIrredCan are filled (solved),
  we convert [X] to a CNonCanonical and put it in the work list.
All this is described in more detail in Wrinkle (2).

Wrinkles:

 (1) The noDerived step is because Derived equalities have no evidence.
     And yet we absolutely need evidence to be able to proceed here.
     Given evidence will use the KindCo coercion; Wanted evidence will
     be a coercion hole. Even a Derived hetero equality begets a Wanted
     kind equality.

 (2) Though it would be sound to do so, we must not mark the rewritten Wanted
       [W] (tv :: k1) ~ ((rhs |> co) :: k1)
     as canonical in the inert set. In particular, we must not unify tv.
     If we did, the Wanted becomes a Given (effectively), and then can
     rewrite other Wanteds. But that's bad: See Note [Wanteds do not rewrite Wanteds]
     in GHC.Tc.Types.Constraint. The problem is about poor error messages. See #11198 for
     tales of destruction.

     So, we have an invariant on CEqCan (TyEq:H) that the RHS does not have
     any coercion holes. This is checked in checkTypeEq. Any equalities that
     have such an RHS are turned into CIrredCans with a BlockedCIS status. We also
     must be sure to kick out any such CIrredCan constraints that mention coercion holes
     when those holes get filled in, so that the unification step can now proceed.

     The kicking out is done in kickOutAfterFillingCoercionHole.

     However, we must be careful: we kick out only when no coercion holes are
     left. The holes in the type are stored in the BlockedCIS CtIrredStatus.
     The extra check that there are no more remaining holes avoids
     needless work when rewriting evidence (which fills coercion holes) and
     aids efficiency.

     Moreover, kicking out when there are remaining unfilled holes can
     cause a loop in the solver in this case:
          [W] w1 :: (ty1 :: F a) ~ (ty2 :: s)
     After canonicalisation, we discover that this equality is heterogeneous.
     So we emit
          [W] co_abc :: F a ~ s
     and preserve the original as
          [W] w2 :: (ty1 |> co_abc) ~ ty2    (blocked on co_abc)
     Then, co_abc comes becomes the work item. It gets swapped in
     canEqCanLHS2 and then back again in canEqTyVarFunEq. We thus get
     co_abc := sym co_abd, and then co_abd := sym co_abe, with
          [W] co_abe :: F a ~ s
     This process has filled in co_abc. Suppose w2 were kicked out.
     When it gets processed,
     would get this whole chain going again. The solution is to
     kick out a blocked constraint only when the result of filling
     in the blocking coercion involves no further blocking coercions.
     Alternatively, we could be careful not to do unnecessary swaps during
     canonicalisation, but that seems hard to do, in general.

 (3) Suppose we have [W] (a :: k1) ~ (rhs :: k2). We duly follow the
     algorithm detailed here, producing [W] co :: k2 ~ k1, and adding
     [W] (a :: k1) ~ ((rhs |> co) :: k1) to the irreducibles. Some time
     later, we solve co, and fill in co's coercion hole. This kicks out
     the irreducible as described in (2).
     But now, during canonicalization, we see the cast
     and remove it, in canEqCast. By the time we get into canEqCanLHS, the equality
     is heterogeneous again, and the process repeats.

     To avoid this, we don't strip casts off a type if the other type
     in the equality is a CanEqLHS (the scenario above can happen with a
     type family, too. testcase: typecheck/should_compile/T13822).
     And this is an improvement regardless:
     because tyvars can, generally, unify with casted types, there's no
     reason to go through the work of stripping off the cast when the
     cast appears opposite a tyvar. This is implemented in the cast case
     of can_eq_nc'.

 (4) Reporting an error for a constraint that is blocked with status BlockedCIS
     is hard: what would we say to users? And we don't
     really need to report, because if a constraint is blocked, then
     there is unsolved wanted blocking it; that unsolved wanted will
     be reported. We thus push such errors to the bottom of the queue
     in the error-reporting code; they should never be printed.

     (4a) It would seem possible to do this filtering just based on the
          presence of a blocking coercion hole. However, this is no good,
          as it suppresses e.g. no-instance-found errors. We thus record
          a CtIrredStatus in CIrredCan and filter based on this status.
          This happened in T14584. An alternative approach is to expressly
          look for *equalities* with blocking coercion holes, but actually
          recording the blockage in a status field seems nicer.

     (4b) The error message might be printed with -fdefer-type-errors,
          so it still must exist. This is the only reason why there is
          a message at all. Otherwise, we could simply do nothing.

Historical note:

We used to do this via emitting a Derived kind equality and then parking
the heterogeneous equality as irreducible. But this new approach is much
more direct. And it doesn't produce duplicate Deriveds (as the old one did).

Note [Type synonyms and canonicalization]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
We treat type synonym applications as xi types, that is, they do not
count as type function applications.  However, we do need to be a bit
careful with type synonyms: like type functions they may not be
generative or injective.  However, unlike type functions, they are
parametric, so there is no problem in expanding them whenever we see
them, since we do not need to know anything about their arguments in
order to expand them; this is what justifies not having to treat them
as specially as type function applications.  The thing that causes
some subtleties is that we prefer to leave type synonym applications
*unexpanded* whenever possible, in order to generate better error
messages.

If we encounter an equality constraint with type synonym applications
on both sides, or a type synonym application on one side and some sort
of type application on the other, we simply must expand out the type
synonyms in order to continue decomposing the equality constraint into
primitive equality constraints.  For example, suppose we have

  type F a = [Int]

and we encounter the equality

  F a ~ [b]

In order to continue we must expand F a into [Int], giving us the
equality

  [Int] ~ [b]

which we can then decompose into the more primitive equality
constraint

  Int ~ b.

However, if we encounter an equality constraint with a type synonym
application on one side and a variable on the other side, we should
NOT (necessarily) expand the type synonym, since for the purpose of
good error messages we want to leave type synonyms unexpanded as much
as possible.  Hence the ps_xi1, ps_xi2 argument passed to canEqCanLHS.

Note [Type variable cycles in Givens]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Consider this situation (from indexed-types/should_compile/GivenLoop):

  instance C (Maybe b)
  [G] a ~ Maybe (F a)
  [W] C a

In order to solve the Wanted, we must use the Given to rewrite `a` to
Maybe (F a). But note that the Given has an occurs-check failure, and
so we can't straightforwardly add the Given to the inert set.

The key idea is to replace the (F a) in the RHS of the Given with a
fresh variable, which we'll call a CycleBreakerTv, or cbv. Then, emit
a new Given to connect cbv with F a. So our situation becomes

  instance C (Maybe b)
  [G] a ~ Maybe cbv
  [G] F a ~ cbv
  [W] C a

Note the orientation of the second Given. The type family ends up
on the left; see commentary on canEqTyVarFunEq, which decides how to
orient such cases. No special treatment for CycleBreakerTvs is
necessary. This scenario is now easily soluble, by using the first
Given to rewrite the Wanted, which can now be solved.

(The first Given actually also rewrites the second one. This causes
no trouble.)

More generally, we detect this scenario by the following characteristics:
 - a Given CEqCan constraint
 - with a tyvar on its LHS
 - with a soluble occurs-check failure
 - and a nominal equality

Having identified the scenario, we wish to replace all type family
applications on the RHS with fresh metavariables (with MetaInfo
CycleBreakerTv). This is done in breakTyVarCycle. These metavariables are
untouchable, but we also emit Givens relating the fresh variables to the type
family applications they replace.

Of course, we don't want our fresh variables leaking into e.g. error messages.
So we fill in the metavariables with their original type family applications
after we're done running the solver (in nestImplicTcS and runTcSWithEvBinds).
This is done by restoreTyVarCycles, which uses the inert_cycle_breakers field in
InertSet, which contains the pairings invented in breakTyVarCycle.

That is:

We transform
  [G] g : a ~ ...(F a)...
to
  [G] (Refl a) : F a ~ cbv      -- CEqCan
  [G] g        : a ~ ...cbv...  -- CEqCan

Note that
* `cbv` is a fresh cycle breaker variable.
* `cbv` is a is a meta-tyvar, but it is completely untouchable.
* We track the cycle-breaker variables in inert_cycle_breakers in InertSet
* We eventually fill in the cycle-breakers, with `cbv := F a`.
  No one else fills in cycle-breakers!
* In inert_cycle_breakers, we remember the (cbv, F a) pair; that is, we
  remember the /original/ type.  The [G] F a ~ cbv constraint may be rewritten
  by other givens (eg if we have another [G] a ~ (b,c), but at the end we
  still fill in with cbv := F a
* This fill-in is done when solving is complete, by restoreTyVarCycles
  in nestImplicTcS and runTcSWithEvBinds.
* The evidence for the new `F a ~ cbv` constraint is Refl, because we know this fill-in is
  ultimately going to happen.

There are drawbacks of this approach:

 1. We apply this trick only for Givens, never for Wanted or Derived.
    It wouldn't make sense for Wanted, because Wanted never rewrite.
    But it's conceivable that a Derived would benefit from this all.
    I doubt it would ever happen, though, so I'm holding off.

 2. We don't use this trick for representational equalities, as there
    is no concrete use case where it is helpful (unlike for nominal
    equalities). Furthermore, because function applications can be
    CanEqLHSs, but newtype applications cannot, the disparities between
    the cases are enough that it would be effortful to expand the idea
    to representational equalities. A quick attempt, with

      data family N a b

      f :: (Coercible a (N a b), Coercible (N a b) b) => a -> b
      f = coerce

    failed with "Could not match 'b' with 'b'." Further work is held off
    until when we have a concrete incentive to explore this dark corner.

Details:

 (1) We don't look under foralls, at all, when substituting away type family
     applications, because doing so can never be fruitful. Recall that we
     are in a case like [G] a ~ forall b. ... a ....   Until we have a type
     family that can pull the body out from a forall, this will always be
     insoluble. Note also that the forall cannot be in an argument to a
     type family, or that outer type family application would already have
     been substituted away.

     However, we still must check to make sure that breakTyVarCycle actually
     succeeds in getting rid of all occurrences of the offending variable.
     If one is hidden under a forall, this won't be true. So we perform
     an additional check after performing the substitution.

     Skipping this check causes typecheck/should_fail/GivenForallLoop to loop.

 (2) Our goal here is to avoid loops in rewriting. We can thus skip looking
     in coercions, as we don't rewrite in coercions.
     (There is no worry about unifying a meta-variable here: this Note is
      only about Givens.)

 (3) As we're substituting, we can build ill-kinded
     types. For example, if we have Proxy (F a) b, where (b :: F a), then
     replacing this with Proxy cbv b is ill-kinded. However, we will later
     set cbv := F a, and so the zonked type will be well-kinded again.
     The temporary ill-kinded type hurts no one, and avoiding this would
     be quite painfully difficult.

     Specifically, this detail does not contravene the Purely Kinded Type Invariant
     (Note [The Purely Kinded Type Invariant (PKTI)] in GHC.Tc.Gen.HsType).
     The PKTI says that we can call typeKind on any type, without failure.
     It would be violated if we, say, replaced a kind (a -> b) with a kind c,
     because an arrow kind might be consulted in piResultTys. Here, we are
     replacing one opaque type like (F a b c) with another, cbv (opaque in
     that we never assume anything about its structure, like that it has a
     result type or a RuntimeRep argument).

 (4) The evidence for the produced Givens is all just reflexive, because
     we will eventually set the cycle-breaker variable to be the type family,
     and then, after the zonk, all will be well.

 (5) The approach here is inefficient. For instance, we could choose to
     affect only type family applications that mention the offending variable:
     in a ~ (F b, G a), we need to replace only G a, not F b. Furthermore,
     we could try to detect cases like a ~ (F a, F a) and use the same
     tyvar to replace F a. (Cf.
     Note [Flattening type-family applications when matching instances]
     in GHC.Core.Unify, which
     goes to this extra effort.) There may be other opportunities for
     improvement. However, this is really a very small corner case, always
     tickled by a user-written Given. The investment to craft a clever,
     performant solution seems unworthwhile.

 (6) We often get the predicate associated with a constraint from its
     evidence. We thus must not only make sure the generated CEqCan's
     fields have the updated RHS type, but we must also update the
     evidence itself. As in Detail (4), we don't need to change the
     evidence term (as in e.g. rewriteEqEvidence) because the cycle
     breaker variables are all zonked away by the time we examine the
     evidence. That is, we must set the ctev_pred of the ctEvidence.
     This is implemented in canEqCanLHSFinish, with a reference to
     this detail.

 (7) We don't wish to apply this magic to CycleBreakerTvs themselves.
     Consider this, from typecheck/should_compile/ContextStack2:

       type instance TF (a, b) = (TF a, TF b)
       t :: (a ~ TF (a, Int)) => ...

       [G] a ~ TF (a, Int)

     The RHS reduces, so we get

       [G] a ~ (TF a, TF Int)

     We then break cycles, to get

       [G] g1 :: a ~ (cbv1, cbv2)
       [G] g2 :: TF a ~ cbv1
       [G] g3 :: TF Int ~ cbv2

     g1 gets added to the inert set, as written. But then g2 becomes
     the work item. g1 rewrites g2 to become

       [G] TF (cbv1, cbv2) ~ cbv1

     which then uses the type instance to become

       [G] (TF cbv1, TF cbv2) ~ cbv1

     which looks remarkably like the Given we started with. If left
     unchecked, this will end up breaking cycles again, looping ad
     infinitum (and resulting in a context-stack reduction error,
     not an outright loop). The solution is easy: don't break cycles
     if the var is already a CycleBreakerTv. Instead, we mark this
     final Given as a CIrredCan with an OtherCIS status (it's not
     insoluble).

     NB: When filling in CycleBreakerTvs, we fill them in with what
     they originally stood for (e.g. cbv1 := TF a, cbv2 := TF Int),
     not what may be in a rewritten constraint.

     Not breaking cycles further (which would mean changing TF cbv1 to cbv3
     and TF cbv2 to cbv4) makes sense, because we only want to break cycles
     for user-written loopy Givens, and a CycleBreakerTv certainly isn't
     user-written.

NB: This same situation (an equality like b ~ Maybe (F b)) can arise with
Wanteds, but we have no concrete case incentivising special treatment. It
would just be a CIrredCan.

Note [Rewriting with Refl]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
If the coercion is just reflexivity then you may re-use the same
variable.  But be careful!  Although the coercion is Refl, new_pred
may reflect the result of unification alpha := ty, so new_pred might
not _look_ the same as old_pred, and it's vital to proceed from now on
using new_pred.

The rewriter preserves type synonyms, so they should appear in new_pred
as well as in old_pred; that is important for good error messages.

Note [unifyWanted and unifyDerived]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
When decomposing equalities we often create new wanted constraints for
(s ~ t).  But what if s=t?  Then it'd be faster to return Refl right away.
Similar remarks apply for Derived.

Rather than making an equality test (which traverses the structure of the
type, perhaps fruitlessly), unifyWanted traverses the common structure, and
bales out when it finds a difference by creating a new Wanted constraint.
But where it succeeds in finding common structure, it just builds a coercion
to reflect it.
