-- [Wanted] F Int ~ [beta]
--- forall a. F Int ~ [a] => a ~ beta
-- We we push in the [Wanted] as given, it will interact and solve the implication
-- constraint, and finally we quantify over F Int ~ [beta]. If we push it in as
-- Given/Solved, it will be discarded when we meet the given (F Int ~ [a]) and
-- we will not be able to solve the implication constraint.
