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 splitRuntimeRep_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 FunTyFlag to match.  This will stop
us decomposing
   (Int -> Bool)  ~  (Show a => blah)
It's as if we treat (->) and (=>) as different type constructors, which
indeed they are!

{- Note [Unwrap newtypes first]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
See also Note [Decomposing newtype equalities]

Consider
  newtype N m a = MkN (m a)
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.

Conclusion: we must unwrap newtypes before decomposing them. This happens
in `can_eq_newtype_nc`

We did flirt with making the /rewriter/ expand newtypes, rather than
doing it in `can_eq_newtype_nc`.   But with recursive newtypes we want
to be super-careful about expanding!

   newtype A = MkA [A]   -- Recursive!

   f :: A -> [A]
   f = coerce

We have [W] A ~R# [A].  If we rewrite [A], it'll expand to
   [[[[[...]]]]]
and blow the reduction stack.  See Note [Newtypes can blow the stack]
in GHC.Tc.Solver.Rewrite.  But if we expand only the /top level/ of
both sides, we get
   [W] [A] ~R# [A]
which we can, just, solve by reflexivity.

So we simply unwrap, on-demand, at top level, in `can_eq_newtype_nc`.

This is all very delicate. There is a real risk of a loop in the type checker
with recursive newtypes -- but I think we're doomed to do *something*
delicate, as we're really trying to solve for equirecursive type
equality. Bottom line for users: recursive newtypes do not play well with type
inference for representational equality.  See also Section 5.3.1 and 5.3.4 of
"Safe Zero-cost Coercions for Haskell" (JFP 2016).

See also Note [Decomposing newtype equalities].

--- Historical side note ---

We flirted with doing /both/ unwrap-at-top-level /and/ rewrite-deeply;
see #22519.  But that didn't work: see discussion in #22924. Specifically
we got a loop with a minor variation:
   f2 :: a -> [A]
   f2 = coerce

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 [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 in `can_eq_newtype_nc`.

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 [Fast path when 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 decompose 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 canDecomposableTyConAppOK uses unifyWanted etc to short-cut that work.
See also Note [Decomposing Dependent TyCons and Processing Wanted Equalities]

Note [Decomposing TyConApp equalities]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Suppose we have
        [G/W] T ty1 ~r T ty2
Can we decompose it, and replace it by
        [G/W] ty1 ~r' ty2
and if so what role is r'?  (In this Note, all the "~" are primitive
equalities "~#", but I have dropped the noisy "#" symbols.)  Lots of
background in the paper "Safe zero-cost coercions for Haskell".

This Note covers the topic for
  * Datatypes
  * Newtypes
  * Data families
For the rest:
  * Type synonyms: are always expanded
  * Type families: see Note [Decomposing type family applications]
  * AppTy:         see Note [Decomposing AppTy equalities].

---- Roles of the decomposed constraints ----
For a start, the role r' will always be defined like this:
  * If r=N then r' = N
  * If r=R then r' = role of T's first argument

For example:
   data TR a = MkTR a       -- Role of T's first arg is Representational
   data TN a = MkTN (F a)   -- Role of T's first arg is Nominal

The function tyConRolesX :: Role -> TyCon -> [Role] gets the argument
role r' for a TyCon T at role r.  E.g.
   tyConRolesX Nominal          TR = [Nominal]
   tyConRolesX Representational TR = [Representational]

---- Soundness and completeness ----
For Givens, for /soundness/ of decomposition we need, forall ty1,ty2:
    T ty1 ~r T ty2   ===>    ty1 ~r' ty2
Here "===>" means "implies".  That is, given evidence for (co1 : T ty1 ~r T co2)
we can produce evidence for (co2 : ty1 ~r' ty2).  But in the solver we
/replace/ co1 with co2 in the inert set, and we don't want to lose any proofs
thereby. So for /completeness/ of decomposition we also need the reverse:
    ty1 ~r' ty2   ===>    T ty1 ~r T ty2

For Wanteds, for /soundness/ of decomposition we need:
    ty1 ~r' ty2   ===>    T ty1 ~r T ty2
because if we do decompose we'll get evidence (co2 : ty1 ~r' ty2) and
from that we want to derive evidence (T co2 : T ty1 ~r T ty2).
For /completeness/ of decomposition we need the reverse implication too,
else we may decompose to a new proof obligation that is stronger than
the one we started with.  See Note [Decomposing newtype equalities].

---- Injectivity ----
When do these bi-implications hold? In one direction it is easy.
We /always/ have
    ty1 ~r'  ty2   ===>    T ty1 ~r T ty2
This is the CO_TYCONAPP rule of the paper (Fig 5); see also the
TyConAppCo case of GHC.Core.Lint.lintCoercion.

In the other direction, we have
    T ty1 ~r T ty2   ==>   ty1 ~r' ty2  if T is /injective at role r/
This is the very /definition/ of injectivity: injectivity means result
is the same => arguments are the same, modulo the role shift.
See comments on GHC.Core.TyCon.isInjectiveTyCon.  This is also
the CO_NTH rule in Fig 5 of the paper, except in the paper only
newtypes are non-injective at representation role, so the rule says "H
is not a newtype".

Injectivity is a bit subtle:
                 Nominal   Representational
   Datatype        YES        YES
   Newtype         YES        NO{1}
   Data family     YES        NO{2}

{1} Consider newtype N a = MkN (F a)   -- Arg has Nominal role
    Is it true that (N t1) ~R (N t2)   ==>   t1 ~N t2  ?
    No, absolutely not.  E.g.
       type instance F Int = Int; type instance F Bool = Char
       Then (N Int) ~R (N Bool), by unwrapping, but we don't want Int~Char!

    See Note [Decomposing newtype equalities]

{2} We must treat data families precisely like newtypes, because of the
    possibility of newtype instances. See also
    Note [Decomposing newtype equalities]. See #10534 and
    test case typecheck/should_fail/T10534.

---- Takeaway summary -----
For sound and complete decomposition, we simply need injectivity;
that is for isInjectiveTyCon to be true:

* At Nominal role, isInjectiveTyCon is True for all the TyCons we are
  considering in this Note: datatypes, newtypes, and data families.

* For Givens, injectivity is necessary for soundness; completeness has no
  side conditions.

* For Wanteds, soundness has no side conditions; but injectivity is needed
  for completeness. See Note [Decomposing newtype equalities]

This is implemented in `can_decompose` in `canTyConApp`; it looks at
injectivity, just as specified above.


Note [Decomposing type family applications]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Supose we have
   [G/W]  (F ty1) ~r  (F ty2)
This is handled by the TyFamLHS/TyFamLHS case of canEqCanLHS2.

We never decompose to
   [G/W]  ty1 ~r' ty2

Instead

* For Givens we do nothing. Injective type families have no corresponding
  evidence of their injectivity, so we cannot decompose an
  injective-type-family Given.

* For Wanteds, for the Nominal role only, we emit new Wanteds rather like
  functional dependencies, for each injective argument position.

  E.g type family F a b   -- injective in first arg, but not second
      [W] (F s1 t1) ~N (F s2 t2)
  Emit new Wanteds
      [W] s1 ~N s2
  But retain the existing, unsolved constraint.

Note [Decomposing newtype equalities]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This Note also applies to data families, which we treat like
newtype in case of 'newtype instance'.

As Note [Decomposing TyConApp equalities] describes, if N is injective
at role r, we can do this decomposition?
   [G/W] (N ty1) ~r (N ty2)    to     [G/W]  ty1 ~r' ty2

For a Given with r=R, the answer is a solid NO: newtypes are not injective at
representational role, and we must not decompose, or we lose soundness.
Example is wrinkle {1} in Note [Decomposing TyConApp equalities].

For a Wanted with r=R, since newtypes are not injective at representational
role, decomposition is sound, but we may lose completeness.  Nevertheless,
if the newtype is abstract (so can't be unwrapped) we can only solve
the equality by (a) using a Given or (b) decomposition.  If (a) is impossible
(e.g. no Givens) then (b) is safe albeit potentially incomplete.

There are two ways in which decomposing (N ty1) ~r (N ty2) could be incomplete:

* Incompleteness example (EX1): unwrap first
      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: always unwrap newtypes before attempting to decompose
  them.  This is done in can_eq_nc'.  Of course, we can't unwrap if the data
  constructor isn't in scope.  See Note [Unwrap newtypes first].

* Incompleteness example (EX2): available Givens
      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

      [G] Nt t1 ~R Nt t2
      [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.  And if we figure
  out (elsewhere) that alpha:=t1 and beta:=t2, we can solve the Wanted
  from the Given.  This is somewhat similar to the question of overlapping
  Givens for class constraints: see Note [Instance and Given overlap] in
  GHC.Tc.Solver.Interact.

  Conclusion: don't decompose [W] N s ~R N t, if there are any Given
  equalities that could later solve it.

  But what precisely does it mean to say "any Given equalities that could
  later solve it"?

  In #22924 we had
     [G] f a ~R# a     [W] Const (f a) a ~R# Const a a
  where Const is an abstract newtype.  If we decomposed the newtype, we
  could solve.  Not-decomposing on the grounds that (f a ~R# a) might turn
  into (Const (f a) a ~R# Const a a) seems a bit silly.

  In #22331 we had
     [G] N a ~R# N b   [W] N b ~R# N a
  (where N is abstract so we can't unwrap). Here we really /don't/ want to
  decompose, because the /only/ way to solve the Wanted is from that Given
  (with a Sym).

  In #22519 we had
     [G] a <= b     [W] IO Age ~R# IO Int

  (where IO is abstract so we can't unwrap, and newtype Age = Int; and (<=)
  is a type-level comparison on Nats).  Here we /must/ decompose, despite the
  existence of an Irred Given, or we will simply be stuck.  (Side note: We
  flirted with deep-rewriting of newtypes (see discussion on #22519 and
  !9623) but that turned out not to solve #22924, and also makes type
  inference loop more often on recursive newtypes.)

  The currently-implemented compromise is this:

    we decompose [W] N s ~R# N t unless there is a [G] N s' ~ N t'

  that is, a Given Irred equality with both sides headed with N.
  See the call to noGivenNewtypeReprEqs in canTyConApp.

  This is not perfect.  In principle a Given like [G] (a b) ~ (c d), or
  even just [G] c, could later turn into N s ~ N t.  But since the free
  vars of a Given are skolems, or at least untouchable unification
  variables, this is extremely unlikely to happen.

  Another worry: there could, just, be a CDictCan with some
  un-expanded equality superclasses; but only in some very obscure
  recursive-superclass situations.

   Yet another approach (!) is desribed in
   Note [Decomposing newtypes a bit more aggressively].

Remember: decomposing Wanteds is always /sound/. This Note is
only about /completeness/.

Note [Decomposing newtypes a bit more aggressively]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
IMPORTANT: the ideas in this Note are *not* implemented. Instead, the
current approach is detailed in Note [Decomposing newtype equalities]
and Note [Unwrap newtypes first].
For more details about the ideas in this Note see
  * GHC propoosal: https://github.com/ghc-proposals/ghc-proposals/pull/549
  * issue #22441
  * discussion on !9282.

Consider [G] c, [W] (IO Int) ~R (IO Age)
where IO is abstract, and
   newtype Age = MkAge Int   -- Not abstract
With the above rules, if there any Given Irreds,
the Wanted is insoluble because we can't decompose it.  But in fact,
if we look at the defn of IO, roughly,
    newtype IO a = State# -> (State#, a)
we can see that decomposing [W] (IO Int) ~R (IO Age) to
    [W] Int ~R Age
definitely does not lose completeness. Why not? Because the role of
IO's argment is representational.  Hence:

  DecomposeNewtypeIdea:
     decompose [W] (N s1 .. sn) ~R (N t1 .. tn)
     if the roles of all N's arguments are representational

If N's arguments really /are/ representational this will not lose
completeness.  Here "really are representational" means "if you expand
all newtypes in N's RHS, we'd infer a representational role for each
of N's type variables in that expansion".  See Note [Role inference]
in GHC.Tc.TyCl.Utils.

But the user might /override/ a phantom role with an explicit role
annotation, and then we could (obscurely) get incompleteness.
Consider

   module A( silly, T ) where
     newtype T a = MkT Int
     type role T representational  -- Override phantom role

     silly :: Coercion (T Int) (T Bool)
     silly = Coercion  -- Typechecks by unwrapping the newtype

     data Coercion a b where  -- Actually defined in Data.Type.Coercion
       Coercion :: Coercible a b => Coercion a b

   module B where
     import A
     f :: T Int -> T Bool
     f = case silly of Coercion -> coerce

Here the `coerce` gives [W] (T Int) ~R (T Bool) which, if we decompose,
we'll get stuck with (Int ~R Bool).  Instead we want to use the
[G] (T Int) ~R (T Bool), which will be in the Irreds.

Summary: we could adopt (DecomposeNewtypeIdea), at the cost of a very
obscure incompleteness (above).  But no one is reporting a problem from
the lack of decompostion, so we'll just leave it for now.  This long
Note is just to record the thinking for our future selves.

Note [Decomposing AppTy equalities]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
For AppTy all the same questions arise as in
Note [Decomposing TyConApp equalities]. We have

    s1 ~r s2,  t1 ~N t2   ==>   s1 t1 ~r s2 t2       (rule CO_APP)
    s1 t1 ~N s2 t2        ==>   s1 ~N s2,  t1 ~N t2  (CO_LEFT, CO_RIGHT)

In the first of these, why do we need Nominal equality in (t1 ~N t2)?
See {2} below.

For sound and complete solving, we need both directions to decompose. So:
* At nominal role, all is well: we have both directions.
* At representational role, decomposition of Givens is unsound (see {1} below),
  and decomposition of Wanteds is incomplete.

Here is an example of the incompleteness for Wanteds:

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

Suppose we see w1 before w2. If we decompose, using AppCo to prove w1, we get

    w1 := AppCo w3 w4
    [W] w3 :: Maybe ~R alpha
    [W] w4 :: b ~N 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.) Now we are 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:
* Always decompose AppTy at nominal role: can_eq_app
* Never decompose AppTy at representational role (neither Given nor Wanted):
  the lack of an equation in can_eq_nc'

Extra points
{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 [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.InertSet.
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 [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 that this only applies to saturated applications of newtype TyCons, as
we can't rewrite an unsaturated application. See for example T22310, where
we ended up with:

  newtype Compose f g a = ...

  [W] t[tau] ~# Compose Foo Bar

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
             [W] w1 : UnF (F beta) ~ beta
             [W] 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

    [W] w3 : F beta ~ F a

then we'll kick w1 out of the inert set (it mentions the LHS of w3). We then
rewrite w1 to

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

and then, using g1, to

    [W] 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 [Kind Equality Orientation]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
While in theory [W] x ~ y and [W] y ~ x ought to give us the same behaviour, in practice it does not.
See Note [Fundeps with instances, and equality orientation] where this is discussed at length.
As a rule of thumb: we keep the newest unification variables on the left of the equality.
See also Note [Improvement orientation] in GHC.Tc.Solver.Interact.

In particular, `canEqCanLHSHetero` produces the following constraint equalities

[X] (xi1 :: ki1) ~ (xi2 :: ki2)
  -->  [X] kco :: ki1 ~ ki2
       [X] co : xi1 :: ki1 ~ (xi2 |> sym kco) :: ki1

Note that the types in the LHS of the new constraints are the ones that were on the LHS of
the original constraint.

--- Historical note ---
We prevously used to flip the kco to avoid using a sym in the cast

[X] (xi1 :: ki1) ~ (xi2 :: ki2)
  -->  [X] kco :: ki2 ~ ki1
       [X] co : xi1 :: ki1 ~ (xi2 |> kco) :: ki1

{- Note [Orienting TyVarLHS/TyFamLHS]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
What if one side is a TyVarLHS and the other is a TyFamLHS, (a ~ F tys)?
Which to put on the left?  Answer:

* If there is no chance of unifying, put the type family on the left,
  (F tys ~ a), because it's generally better to rewrite away function
  calls.  See `put_tyvar_on_lhs` in canEqCanLHS2; and
  Note [Orienting TyVarLHS/TyFamLHS]

* But if there /is/ a chance of unifying, put the tyvar on the left,
  (a ~ F tys), as this may be our only shot to unify. Again see
  `put_tyvar_on_lhs`.

* But if we /fail/ to unify then flip back to (F tys ~ a) because it's
  generally better to rewrite away function calls. See the call to
  `swapAndFinish` in `canEqCanLHSFinish_try_unification`

  It's important to flip back. Consider
    [W] F alpha ~ alpha
    [W] F alpha ~ beta
    [W] G alpha beta ~ Int   ( where we have type instance G a a = a )
  If we end up with a stuck alpha ~ F alpha, we won't be able to solve this.
  Test case: indexed-types/should_compile/CEqCanOccursCheck

Note [Orienting TyFamLHS/TyFamLHS]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
If we have a TyFamLHS on both sides, we choose how to orient it.

* swap_for_size.  If we have
      S a ~ F (G (H (Maybe a)))
  then we swap so that we tend to rewrite the bigger type (F (G (H (Maybe a))))
  into the smaller one (S a).  This same test tends to avoid occurs-check
  errors.  E.g.
      S g ~ F (G (S g))
  Here (S g) occurs on the RHS, so this is not canonical.  But if we swap it
  around, it /is/ canonical
      F (G (S g)) ~ S g

* swap_for_rewriting: put touchable meta-tyvars on the left:
  see Note [Put touchable variables on the left]

{- 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] or [W]), we go to

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

We carry on with the *kind equality*, not the type equality, because
solving the former may unlock the latter. This choice is made in
canEqCanLHSHetero. It is important: otherwise, T13135 loops.

Wrinkles:

 (1) When X is W, the new type-level wanted is effectively rewritten by the
     kind-level one. We thus include the kind-level wanted in the RewriterSet
     for the type-level one. See Note [Wanteds rewrite Wanteds] in GHC.Tc.Types.Constraint.
     This is done in canEqCanLHSHetero.

 (2) If we have [W] w :: alpha ~ (rhs |> sym co_hole), should we unify alpha? No.
     The problem is that the wanted w is effectively rewritten by another wanted,
     and unifying alpha effectively promotes this wanted to a given. Doing so
     means we lose track of the rewriter set associated with the wanted.

     Another way to say it: we must not have a co_hole in a Given, and
     unification effectively makes a Given.  (This is not very well motivated;
     may need to dig deeper if anything goes wrong.)

     On the other hand, w is perfectly suitable for rewriting, because of the
     way we carefully track rewriter sets.  So we include cteCoercionHole in
     `do_not_prevent_rewriting` in `canEqCanLHSFinish_try_unification`. (Side
     note: I think this is an open choice. Maybe we'd get better error
     messages if we did not use these equalities for rewriting.)

     We thus allow w to be a CEqCan, but we prevent unification. See
     Note [Unification preconditions] in GHC.Tc.Utils.Unify.

     The only tricky part is that we must later indeed unify if/when the kind-level
     wanted gets solved. This is done in kickOutAfterFillingCoercionHole,
     which kicks out all equalities whose RHS mentions the filled-in coercion hole.
     Note that it looks for type family equalities, too, because of the use of
     unifyTest in canEqTyVarFunEq.

 (3) Suppose we have [W] (a :: k1) ~ (rhs :: k2). We duly follow the
     algorithm detailed here, producing [W] co :: k1 ~ k2, and adding
     [W] (a :: k1) ~ ((rhs |> sym 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'.

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 equality cycles]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Consider this situation (from indexed-types/should_compile/GivenLoop):

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

or (typecheck/should_compile/T19682b):

  instance C (a -> b)
  *[W] alpha ~ (Arg alpha -> Res alpha)
  [W] C alpha

or (typecheck/should_compile/T21515):

  type family Code a
  *[G] Code a ~ '[ '[ Head (Head (Code a)) ] ]
  [W] Code a ~ '[ '[ alpha ] ]

In order to solve the final Wanted, we must use the starred constraint
for rewriting. But note that all starred constraints have occurs-check failures,
and so we can't straightforwardly add these to the inert set and
use them for rewriting. (NB: A rigid type constructor is at the
top of all RHSs, preventing reorienting in canEqTyVarFunEq in the tyvar
cases.)

The key idea is to replace the outermost type family applications in the RHS of
the starred constraints with a fresh variable, which we'll call a cycle-breaker
variable, or cbv. Then, relate the cbv back with the original type family
application via new equality constraints. Our situations thus become:

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

or

  instance C (a -> b)
  [W] alpha ~ (cbv1 -> cbv2)
  [W] Arg alpha ~ cbv1
  [W] Res alpha ~ cbv2
  [W] C alpha

or

  [G] Code a ~ '[ '[ cbv ] ]
  [G] Head (Head (Code a)) ~ cbv
  [W] Code a ~ '[ '[ alpha ] ]

This transformation (creating the new types and emitting new equality
constraints) is done by the `FamAppBreaker` field of `TEFA_Break`, which
in turn lives in the `tef_fam_app` field of `TyEqFlags`.  And that in
turn controls the behaviour of the workhorse: GHC.Tc.Utils.Unify.checkTyEqRhs.

The details depend on whether we're working with a Given or a Wanted.

Given
-----
We emit a new Given, [G] F a ~ cbv, equating the type family application
to our new cbv. This is actually done by `break_given` in
`GHC.Tc.Solver.Monad.checkTypeEq`.

Note its orientation: The type family ends up on the left; see
Note [Orienting TyFamLHS/TyFamLHS]d. 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, giving
[G] F (Maybe cbv) ~ cbv, but this causes no trouble.)

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 `break_given`.

That is, we transform
  [G] g : lhs ~ ...(F lhs)...
to
  [G] (Refl lhs) : F lhs ~ cbv      -- CEqCan
  [G] g          : lhs ~ ...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 lhs`.
  No one else fills in CycleBreakerTvs!
* The evidence for the new `F lhs ~ cbv` constraint is Refl, because we know
  this fill-in is ultimately going to happen.
* In `inert_cycle_breakers`, we remember the (cbv, F lhs) pair; that is, we
  remember the /original/ type.  The [G] F lhs ~ cbv constraint may be rewritten
  by other givens (eg if we have another [G] lhs ~ (b,c)), but at the end we
  still fill in with cbv := F lhs
* This fill-in is done when solving is complete, by restoreTyVarCycles
  in nestImplicTcS and runTcSWithEvBinds.

Wanted
------
First, we do not cycle-break unless the LHS is a unifiable type variable
See Note [Don't cycle-break Wanteds when not unifying] in GHC.Tc.Solver.Monad.

OK, so suppose the LHS is a unifiable type variable.  The fresh cycle-breaker
variables here must actually be normal, touchable metavariables. That is, they
are TauTvs. Nothing at all unusual. Repeating the example from above, we have

  *[W] alpha ~ (Arg alpha -> Res alpha)

and we turn this into

  *[W] alpha ~ (cbv1 -> cbv2)
  [W] Arg alpha ~ cbv1
  [W] Res alpha ~ cbv2

where cbv1 and cbv2 are fresh TauTvs.  This is actually done by `break_wanted`
in `GHC.Tc.Solver.Monad.checkTouchableTyVarEq`.

Why TauTvs? See [Why TauTvs] below.

Critically, we emit the two new constraints (the last two above)
directly instead of calling unifyWanted. (Otherwise, we'd end up
unifying cbv1 and cbv2 immediately, achieving nothing.)  Next, we
unify alpha := cbv1 -> cbv2, having eliminated the occurs check. This
unification happens immediately following a successful call to
checkTouchableTyVarEq, in canEqCanLHSFinish_try_unification.

Now, we're here (including further context from our original example,
from the top of the Note):

  instance C (a -> b)
  [W] Arg (cbv1 -> cbv2) ~ cbv1
  [W] Res (cbv1 -> cbv2) ~ cbv2
  [W] C (cbv1 -> cbv2)

The first two W constraints reduce to reflexivity and are discarded,
and the last is easily soluble.

[Why TauTvs]:
Let's look at another example (typecheck/should_compile/T19682) where we need
to unify the cbvs:

  class    (AllEqF xs ys, SameShapeAs xs ys) => AllEq xs ys
  instance (AllEqF xs ys, SameShapeAs xs ys) => AllEq xs ys

  type family SameShapeAs xs ys :: Constraint where
    SameShapeAs '[] ys      = (ys ~ '[])
    SameShapeAs (x : xs) ys = (ys ~ (Head ys : Tail ys))

  type family AllEqF xs ys :: Constraint where
    AllEqF '[]      '[]      = ()
    AllEqF (x : xs) (y : ys) = (x ~ y, AllEq xs ys)

  [W] alpha ~ (Head alpha : Tail alpha)
  [W] AllEqF '[Bool] alpha

Without the logic detailed in this Note, we're stuck here, as AllEqF cannot
reduce and alpha cannot unify. Let's instead apply our cycle-breaker approach,
just as described above. We thus invent cbv1 and cbv2 and unify
alpha := cbv1 -> cbv2, yielding (after zonking)

  [W] Head (cbv1 : cbv2) ~ cbv1
  [W] Tail (cbv1 : cbv2) ~ cbv2
  [W] AllEqF '[Bool] (cbv1 : cbv2)

The first two W constraints simplify to reflexivity and are discarded.
But the last reduces:

  [W] Bool ~ cbv1
  [W] AllEq '[] cbv2

The first of these is solved by unification: cbv1 := Bool. The second
is solved by the instance for AllEq to become

  [W] AllEqF '[] cbv2
  [W] SameShapeAs '[] cbv2

While the first of these is stuck, the second makes progress, to lead to

  [W] AllEqF '[] cbv2
  [W] cbv2 ~ '[]

This second constraint is solved by unification: cbv2 := '[]. We now
have

  [W] AllEqF '[] '[]

which reduces to

  [W] ()

which is trivially satisfiable. Hooray!

Note that we need to unify the cbvs here; if we did not, there would be
no way to solve those constraints. That's why the cycle-breakers are
ordinary TauTvs.

How all this is implemented
---------------------------
We implement all this via the `TEFA_Break` constructor of `TyEqFamApp`,
itself stored in the `tef_fam_app` field of `TyEqFlags`, which controls
the behaviour of `GHC.Tc.Utils.Unify.checkTyEqRhs`.  The `TEFA_Break`
stuff happens when `checkTyEqRhs` encounters a family application.

We try the cycle-breaking trick:
* For Wanteds, when there is a touchable unification variable on the left
* For Givens, regardless of the LHS

EXCEPT that, in both cases, as `GHC.Tc.Solver.Monad.mkTEFA_Break` shows, we
don't use this trick:

* When the constraint we are looking at was itself created by cycle-breaking;
  see Detail (7) below.

* 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.

More details:

 (1) We don't look under foralls, at all, in `checkTyEqRhs`.  There might be
     a cyclic occurrence underneath, in a case like
          [G] lhs ~ forall b. ... lhs ....
     but it doesn't matter because we will classify the constraint as Irred,
     so it will not be used for rewriting.

     Earlier versions required an extra, post-breaking, check.  Skipping this
     check causes typecheck/should_fail/GivenForallLoop and polykinds/T18451 to
     loop.  But now it is all simpler, with no need for a second check.

 (2) Historical Note: our goal here is to avoid loops in rewriting. We can thus
     skip looking in coercions, as we don't rewrite in coercions in the
     algorithm in GHC.Solver.Rewrite.  This doesn't seem relevant any more.
     We cycle break to make the constraint canonical.

 (3) As we cycle-break as described in this Note, 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. See also the notes at the end of
     the Given section of this Note.

 (5) The implementation in `checkTyEqRhs` is efficient because it only replaces
     a type family application with a type variable, if that particular
     appplication is implicated in the occurs check.  For example:
         [W] alpha ~ Maybe (F alpha, G beta)
     We'll end up calling GHC.Tc.Utils.Unify.checkFamApp
       * On `F alpha`, which fail and calls the cycle-breaker in TEFA_Break
       * On `G beta`, which succeeds no problem.

     However, we make no attempt to detect cases like a ~ (F a, F a) and use the
     same tyvar to replace F a. The constraint solver will common them up later!
     (Cf. Note [Flattening type-family applications when matching instances] in
     GHC.Core.Unify, which goes to this extra effort.) However, this is really
     a very small corner case.  The investment to craft a clever, performant
     solution seems unworthwhile.

 (6) We often get the predicate associated with a constraint from its evidence
     with ctPred. We thus must not only make sure the generated CEqCan's fields
     have the updated RHS type (that is, the one produced by replacing type
     family applications with fresh variables), but we must also update the
     evidence itself. This is done by the call to rewriteEqEvidence in
     canEqCanLHSFinish.

 (7) We don't wish to apply this magic on the equalities created
     by this very same process. 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 on an equality generated by breaking
     cycles. Instead, we mark this final Given as a CIrredCan with a
     NonCanonicalReason with the soluble occurs-check bit set (only).

     We track these equalities by giving them a special CtOrigin,
     CycleBreakerOrigin. This works for both Givens and Wanteds, as we need the
     logic in the W case for e.g. typecheck/should_fail/T17139.  Because this
     logic needs to work for Wanteds, too, we cannot simply look for a
     CycleBreakerTv on the left: Wanteds don't use them.

Note [Combining equalities]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Suppose we have
   Inert:     g1 :: a ~ t
   Work item: g2 :: a ~ t

Then we can simply solve g2 from g1, thus g2 := g1.  Easy!
But it's not so simple:

* If t is a type variable, the equalties might be oriented differently:
      e.g. (g1 :: a~b) and (g2 :: b~a)
  So we look both ways round.  Hence the SwapFlag result to
  inertsCanDischarge.

* We can only do g2 := g1 if g1 can discharge g2; that depends on
  (a) the role and (b) the flavour.  E.g. a representational equality
  cannot discharge a nominal one; a Wanted cannot discharge a Given.
  The predicate is eqCanRewriteFR.

* Visibility. Suppose  S :: forall k. k -> Type, and consider unifying
      S @Type (a::Type)  ~   S @(Type->Type) (b::Type->Type)
  From the first argument we get (Type ~ Type->Type); from the second
  argument we get (a ~ b) which in turn gives (Type ~ Type->Type).
  See typecheck/should_fail/T16204c.

  That first argument is invisible in the source program (aside from
  visible type application), so we'd much prefer to get the error from
  the second. We track visibility in the uo_visible field of a TypeEqOrigin.
  We use this to prioritise visible errors (see GHC.Tc.Errors.tryReporters,
  the partition on isVisibleOrigin).

  So when combining two otherwise-identical equalites, we want to
  keep the visible one, and discharge the invisible one.  Hence the
  call to strictly_more_visible.

{- 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 [Do not unify representational equalities]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Consider   [W] alpha ~R# b
where alpha is touchable. Should we unify alpha := b?

Certainly not!  Unifying forces alpha and be to be the same; but they
only need to be representationally equal types.

For example, we might have another constraint [W] alpha ~# N b
where
  newtype N b = MkN b
and we want to get alpha := N b.

See also #15144, which was caused by unifying a representational
equality.

Note [Solve by unification]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
If we solve
   alpha[n] ~ ty
by unification, there are two cases to consider

* TouchableSameLevel: if the ambient level is 'n', then
  we can simply update alpha := ty, and do nothing else

* TouchableOuterLevel free_metas n: if the ambient level is greater than
  'n' (the level of alpha), in addition to setting alpha := ty we must
  do two other things:

  1. Promote all the free meta-vars of 'ty' to level n.  After all,
     alpha[n] is at level n, and so if we set, say,
          alpha[n] := Maybe beta[m],
     we must ensure that when unifying beta we do skolem-escape checks
     etc relevant to level n.  Simple way to do that: promote beta to
     level n.

  2. Set the Unification Level Flag to record that a level-n unification has
     taken place. See Note [The Unification Level Flag] in GHC.Tc.Solver.Monad

NB: TouchableSameLevel is just an optimisation for TouchableOuterLevel. Promotion
would be a no-op, and setting the unification flag unnecessarily would just
make the solver iterate more often.  (We don't need to iterate when unifying
at the ambient level because of the kick-out mechanism.)

Note [Reverse order of fundep equations]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Consider this scenario (from dependent/should_fail/T13135_simple):

  type Sig :: Type -> Type
  data Sig a = SigFun a (Sig a)

  type SmartFun :: forall (t :: Type). Sig t -> Type
  type family SmartFun sig = r | r -> sig where
    SmartFun @Type (SigFun @Type a sig) = a -> SmartFun @Type sig

  [W] SmartFun @kappa sigma ~ (Int -> Bool)

The injectivity of SmartFun allows us to produce two new equalities:

  [W] w1 :: Type ~ kappa
  [W] w2 :: SigFun @Type Int beta ~ sigma

for some fresh (beta :: SigType). The second Wanted here is actually
heterogeneous: the LHS has type Sig Type while the RHS has type Sig kappa.
Of course, if we solve the first wanted first, the second becomes homogeneous.

When looking for injectivity-inspired equalities, we work left-to-right,
producing the two equalities in the order written above. However, these
equalities are then passed into unifyWanted, which will fail, adding these
to the work list. However, crucially, the work list operates like a *stack*.
So, because we add w1 and then w2, we process w2 first. This is silly: solving
w1 would unlock w2. So we make sure to add equalities to the work
list in left-to-right order, which requires a few key calls to 'reverse'.

This treatment is also used for class-based functional dependencies, although
we do not have a program yet known to exhibit a loop there. It just seems
like the right thing to do.

When this was originally conceived, it was necessary to avoid a loop in T13135.
That loop is now avoided by continuing with the kind equality (not the type
equality) in canEqCanLHSHetero (see Note [Equalities with incompatible kinds]
in GHC.Tc.Solver.Canonical). However, the idea of working left-to-right still
seems worthwhile, and so the calls to 'reverse' remain.

Note [Improvement orientation]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
See also Note [Fundeps with instances, and equality orientation], which describes
the Exact Same Problem, with the same solution, but for functional dependencies.

A very delicate point is the orientation of equalities
arising from injectivity improvement (#12522).  Suppose we have
  type family F x = t | t -> x
  type instance F (a, Int) = (Int, G a)
where G is injective; and wanted constraints

  [W] TF (alpha, beta) ~ fuv
  [W] fuv ~ (Int, <some type>)

The injectivity will give rise to constraints

  [W] gamma1 ~ alpha
  [W] Int ~ beta

The fresh unification variable gamma1 comes from the fact that we
can only do "partial improvement" here; see Section 5.2 of
"Injective type families for Haskell" (HS'15).

Now, it's very important to orient the equations this way round,
so that the fresh unification variable will be eliminated in
favour of alpha.  If we instead had
   [W] alpha ~ gamma1
then we would unify alpha := gamma1; and kick out the wanted
constraint.  But when we grough it back in, it'd look like
   [W] TF (gamma1, beta) ~ fuv
and exactly the same thing would happen again!  Infinite loop.

This all seems fragile, and it might seem more robust to avoid
introducing gamma1 in the first place, in the case where the
actual argument (alpha, beta) partly matches the improvement
template.  But that's a bit tricky, esp when we remember that the
kinds much match too; so it's easier to let the normal machinery
handle it.  Instead we are careful to orient the new
equality with the template on the left.  Delicate, but it works.

{- Note [Type inference for type families with injectivity]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Suppose we have a type family with an injectivity annotation:
    type family F a b = r | r -> b

Then if we have an equality like F s1 t1 ~ F s2 t2,
we can use the injectivity to get a new Wanted constraint on
the injective argument
  [W] t1 ~ t2

That in turn can help GHC solve constraints that would otherwise require
guessing.  For example, consider the ambiguity check for
   f :: F Int b -> Int
We get the constraint
   [W] F Int b ~ F Int beta
where beta is a unification variable.  Injectivity lets us pick beta ~ b.

Injectivity information is also used at the call sites. For example:
   g = f True
gives rise to
   [W] F Int b ~ Bool
from which we can derive b.  This requires looking at the defining equations of
a type family, ie. finding equation with a matching RHS (Bool in this example)
and inferring values of type variables (b in this example) from the LHS patterns
of the matching equation.  For closed type families we have to perform
additional apartness check for the selected equation to check that the selected
is guaranteed to fire for given LHS arguments.

These new constraints are Wanted constraints, but we will not use the evidence.
We could go further and offer evidence from decomposing injective type-function
applications, but that would require new evidence forms, and an extension to
FC, so we don't do that right now (Dec 14).

We generate these Wanteds in three places, depending on how we notice the
injectivity.

1. When we have a [W] F tys1 ~ F tys2. This is handled in canEqCanLHS2, and
described in Note [Decomposing type family applications] in GHC.Tc.Solver.Canonical.

2. When we have [W] F tys1 ~ T and [W] F tys2 ~ T. Note that neither of these
constraints rewrites the other, as they have different LHSs. This is done
in improveLocalFunEqs, called during the interactWithInertsStage.

3. When we have [W] F tys ~ T and an equation for F that looks like F tys' = T.
This is done in improve_top_fun_eqs, called from the top-level reactions stage.

Note [Cache-caused loops]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It is very dangerous to cache a rewritten wanted family equation as 'solved' in our
solved cache (which is the default behaviour or xCtEvidence), because the interaction
may not be contributing towards a solution. Here is an example:

Initial inert set:
  [W] g1 : F a ~ beta1
Work item:
  [W] g2 : F a ~ beta2
The work item will react with the inert yielding the _same_ inert set plus:
    (i)   Will set g2 := g1 `cast` g3
    (ii)  Will add to our solved cache that [S] g2 : F a ~ beta2
    (iii) Will emit [W] g3 : beta1 ~ beta2
Now, the g3 work item will be spontaneously solved to [G] g3 : beta1 ~ beta2
and then it will react the item in the inert ([W] g1 : F a ~ beta1). So it
will set
      g1 := g ; sym g3
and what is g? Well it would ideally be a new goal of type (F a ~ beta2) but
remember that we have this in our solved cache, and it is ... g2! In short we
created the evidence loop:

        g2 := g1 ; g3
        g3 := refl
        g1 := g2 ; sym g3

To avoid this situation we do not cache as solved any workitems (or inert)
which did not really made a 'step' towards proving some goal. Solved's are
just an optimization so we don't lose anything in terms of completeness of
solving.
