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

    Canonicalization converts a simple constraint to a canonical form. It is
    unary (i.e. treats individual constraints one at a time), does not do
    any zonking, but lives in TcS monad because it needs to create fresh
    variables (for flattening) and consult the inerts (for efficiency).

    The execution plan for canonicalization is the following:

      1) Decomposition of equalities happens as necessary until we reach a
         variable or type family in one side. There is no decomposition step
         for other forms of constraints.

      2) If, when we decompose, we discover a variable on the head then we
         look at inert_eqs from the current inert for a substitution for this
         variable and contine decomposing. Hence we lazily apply the inert
         substitution if it is needed.

      3) If no more decomposition is possible, we deeply apply the substitution
         from the inert_eqs and continue with flattening.

      4) During flattening, we examine whether we have already flattened some
         function application by looking at all the CTyFunEqs with the same
         function in the inert set. The reason for deeply applying the inert
         substitution at step (3) is to maximise our chances of matching an
         already flattened family application in the inert.

    The net result is that a constraint coming out of the canonicalization
    phase cannot be rewritten any further from the inerts (but maybe /it/ can
    rewrite an inert or still interact with an inert in a further phase in the
    simplifier.

    Note [Caching for canonicals]
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    Our plan with pre-canonicalization is to be able to solve a constraint
    really fast from existing bindings in TcEvBinds. So one may think that
    the condition (isCNonCanonical) is not necessary.  However consider
    the following setup:

    InertSet = { [W] d1 : Num t }
    WorkList = { [W] d2 : Num t, [W] c : t ~ Int}

    Now, we prioritize equalities, but in our concrete example
    (should_run/mc17.hs) the first (d2) constraint is dealt with first,
    because (t ~ Int) is an equality that only later appears in the
    worklist since it is pulled out from a nested implication
    constraint. So, let's examine what happens:

       - We encounter work item (d2 : Num t)

       - Nothing is yet in EvBinds, so we reach the interaction with inerts
         and set:
                  d2 := d1
        and we discard d2 from the worklist. The inert set remains unaffected.

       - Now the equation ([W] c : t ~ Int) is encountered and kicks-out
         (d1 : Num t) from the inerts.  Then that equation gets
         spontaneously solved, perhaps. We end up with:
            InertSet : { [G] c : t ~ Int }
            WorkList : { [W] d1 : Num t}

       - Now we examine (d1), we observe that there is a binding for (Num
         t) in the evidence binds and we set:
                 d1 := d2
         and end up in a loop!

    Now, the constraints that get kicked out from the inert set are always
    Canonical, so by restricting the use of the pre-canonicalizer to
    NonCanonical constraints we eliminate this danger. Moreover, for
    canonical constraints we already have good caching mechanisms
    (effectively the interaction solver) and we are interested in reducing
    things like superclasses of the same non-canonical constraint being
    generated hence I don't expect us to lose a lot by introducing the
    (isCNonCanonical) restriction.

    A similar situation can arise in TcSimplify, at the end of the
    solve_wanteds function, where constraints from the inert set are
    returned as new work -- our substCt ensures however that if they are
    not rewritten by subst, they remain canonical and hence we will not
    attempt to solve them from the EvBinds. If on the other hand they did
    get rewritten and are now non-canonical they will still not match the
    EvBinds, so we are again good.

    Note [Adding superclasses]
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    Since dictionaries are canonicalized only once in their lifetime, the
    place to add their superclasses is canonicalisation (The alternative
    would be to do it during constraint solving, but we'd have to be
    extremely careful to not repeatedly introduced the same superclass in
    our worklist). Here is what we do:

    For Givens:
           We add all their superclasses as Givens.

    For Wanteds:
           Generally speaking we want to be able to add superclasses of
           wanteds for two reasons:

           (1) Oportunities for improvement. Example:
                      class (a ~ b) => C a b
               Wanted constraint is: C alpha beta
               We'd like to simply have C alpha alpha. Similar
               situations arise in relation to functional dependencies.

           (2) To have minimal constraints to quantify over:
               For instance, if our wanted constraint is (Eq a, Ord a)
               we'd only like to quantify over Ord a.

           To deal with (1) above we only add the superclasses of wanteds
           which may lead to improvement, that is: equality superclasses or
           superclasses with functional dependencies.

           We deal with (2) completely independently in TcSimplify. See
           Note [Minimize by SuperClasses] in TcSimplify.

           Moreover, in all cases the extra improvement constraints are
           Derived. Derived constraints have an identity (for now), but
           we don't do anything with their evidence. For instance they
           are never used to rewrite other constraints.

           See also [New Wanted Superclass Work] in TcInteract.

    For Deriveds:
           We do nothing.

    Here's an example that demonstrates why we chose to NOT add
    superclasses during simplification: [Comes from ticket #4497]

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

    Assume the generated wanted constraint is:
       RealOf e ~ e, Normed e
    If we were to be adding the superclasses during simplification we'd get:
       Num uf, Normed e, RealOf e ~ e, RealOf e ~ uf
    ==>
       e ~ uf, Num uf, Normed e, RealOf e ~ e
    ==> [Spontaneous solve]
       Num uf, Normed uf, RealOf uf ~ uf

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

    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 flattener technology deals with the similar case
    (recursive type families) for nominal equality.

    As an alternative, suppose we also have

      newtype Y = MkY (Int -> Y)

    and now wish to prove

      [W] X ~R Y

    This new 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 of the stack-blowing check in can_eq_newtype_nc, along
    with the fact that rewriteEqEvidence bumps the stack depth.

    Note [AppTy reflexivity check]
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    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 CIrredEvCan. 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 the 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 (T 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.

    Note [Decomposing newtypes]
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    As explained in Note [NthCo and newtypes] in Coercion, we can't use
    NthCo on representational coercions over newtypes. So we avoid doing
    so.

    But is it sensible to decompose *Wanted* constraints over newtypes?
    Yes. By the time we reach canDecomposableTyConApp, we know that any
    newtypes that can be unwrapped have been. So, without importing more
    constructors, say, we know there is no way forward other than decomposition.
    So we take the one route we have available. This *does* mean that
    importing a newtype's constructor might make code that previously
    compiled fail to do so. (If that newtype is perversely recursive, say.)

    Note [Flatten irreducible representational equalities]
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    When we can't make any progress with a representational equality, but
    we haven't given up all hope, we must flatten before producing the
    CIrredEvCan. There are two reasons to do this:

      * See case in Note [Use canEqFailure in canDecomposableTyConApp].
        Flattening here can expose that we know enough information to unwrap
        a newtype.

      * This case, which was encountered in the testsuite (T9117_3):

          work item: [W] c1: f a ~R g a
          inert set: [G] c2: g ~R f

        In can_eq_app, we try to flatten the LHS of c1. This causes no effect,
        because `f` cannot be rewritten. So, we go to can_eq_flat_app. Without
        flattening the RHS, the reflexivity check fails, and we give up. However,
        flattening the RHS rewrites `g` to `f`, the reflexivity check succeeds,
        and we go on to glory.

    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 jus 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 things is to see if ty2 is of form (s2 t2), and
    decompose.  By this time s1 and s2 can't be saturated type
    function applications, because those have been dealt with
    by an earlier equation in can_eq_nc, so it is always sound to
    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 flattens 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 [Kick out insolubles] in TcInteract.
    And if we don't do this there is a bad danger that
    TcSimplify.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

    Further, suppose flattening `a` doesn't do anything. Then, we'll flatten the
    RHS of c1 and have a new [W] c3 : a ~R Id a. If we just blindly proceed, we'll
    fail in canEqTyVar2 with an occurs-check. What we really need to do is to
    unwrap the `Id a` in the RHS. This is exactly analogous to the requirement for
    no top-level type families on the RHS of a nominal equality. The only
    annoyance is that the flattener doesn't do this work for us when flattening
    the RHS, so we have to catch this case here and then go back to the beginning
    of can_eq_nc. We know that this can't loop forever because we require that
    flattening the RHS actually made progress. (If it didn't, then we really
    *should* fail with an occurs-check!)

    Note [Canonical orientation for tyvar/tyvar equality constraints]
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    When we have a ~ b where both 'a' and 'b' are TcTyVars, which way
    round should be oriented in the CTyEqCan?  The rules, implemented by
    canEqTyVarTyVar, are these

     * If either is a flatten-meta-variables, it goes on the left.

     * If one is a strict sub-kind of the other e.g.
           (alpha::?) ~ (beta::*)
       orient them so RHS is a subkind of LHS.  That way we will replace
       'a' with 'b', correctly narrowing the kind.
       This establishes the subkind invariant of CTyEqCan.

     * Put a meta-tyvar on the left if possible
           alpha[3] ~ r

     * If both are meta-tyvars, put the more touchable one (deepest level
       number) on the left, so there is the best chance of unifying it
            alpha[3] ~ beta[2]

     * If both are meta-tyvars and both at the same level, put a SigTv
       on the right if possible
            alpha[2] ~ beta[2](sig-tv)
       That way, when we unify alpha := beta, we don't lose the SigTv flag.

     * Put a meta-tv with a System Name on the left if possible so it
       gets eliminated (improves error messages)

     * If one is a flatten-skolem, put it on the left so that it is
       substituted out  Note [Elminate flat-skols]
            fsk ~ a

    Note [Avoid unnecessary swaps]
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    If we swap without actually improving matters, we can get an infnite loop.
    Consider
        work item:  a ~ b
       inert item:  b ~ c
    We canonicalise the work-time to (a ~ c).  If we then swap it before
    aeding to the inert set, we'll add (c ~ a), and therefore kick out the
    inert guy, so we get
       new work item:  b ~ c
       inert item:     c ~ a
    And now the cycle just repeats

    Note [Eliminate flat-skols]
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    Suppose we have  [G] Num (F [a])
    then we flatten to
         [G] Num fsk
         [G] F [a] ~ fsk
    where fsk is a flatten-skolem (FlatSkol). Suppose we have
          type instance F [a] = a
    then we'll reduce the second constraint to
         [G] a ~ fsk
    and then replace all uses of 'a' with fsk.  That's bad because
    in error messages intead of saying 'a' we'll say (F [a]).  In all
    places, including those where the programmer wrote 'a' in the first
    place.  Very confusing!  See Trac #7862.

    Solution: re-orient a~fsk to fsk~a, so that we preferentially eliminate
    the fsk.

    Note [Equalities with incompatible kinds]
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    canEqLeaf is about to make a CTyEqCan or CFunEqCan; but both have the
    invariant that LHS and RHS satisfy the kind invariants for CTyEqCan,
    CFunEqCan.  What if we try to unify two things with incompatible
    kinds?

    eg    a ~ b  where a::*, b::*->*
    or    a ~ b  where a::*, b::k, k is a kind variable

    The CTyEqCan compatKind invariant is important.  If we make a CTyEqCan
    for a~b, then we might well *substitute* 'b' for 'a', and that might make
    a well-kinded type ill-kinded; and that is bad (eg typeKind can crash, see
    Trac #7696).

    So instead for these ill-kinded equalities we generate a CIrredCan,
    and put it in the inert set, which keeps it out of the way until a
    subsequent substitution (on kind variables, say) re-activates it.

    NB: it is important that the types s1,s2 are flattened and zonked
        so that their kinds k1, k2 are inert wrt the substitution.  That
        means that they can only become the same if we change the inert
        set, which in turn will kick out the irreducible equality
        E.g. it is WRONG to make an irred (a:k1)~(b:k2)
             if we already have a substitution k1:=k2

    NB: it's important that the new CIrredCan goes in the inert set rather
    than back into the work list. We used to do the latter, but that led
    to an infinite loop when we encountered it again, and put it back in
    the work list again.

    See also Note [Kind orientation for CTyEqCan] and
             Note [Kind orientation for CFunEqCan] in TcRnTypes

    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_ty1, ps_ty2 argument passed to canEqTyVar.

    Note [occurCheckExpand]
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    There is a subtle point with type synonyms and the occurs check that
    takes place for equality constraints of the form tv ~ xi.  As an
    example, suppose we have

      type F a = Int

    and we come across the equality constraint

      a ~ F a

    This should not actually fail the occurs check, since expanding out
    the type synonym results in the legitimate equality constraint a ~
    Int.  We must actually do this expansion, because unifying a with F a
    will lead the type checker into infinite loops later.  Put another
    way, canonical equality constraints should never *syntactically*
    contain the LHS variable in the RHS type.  However, we don't always
    need to expand type synonyms when doing an occurs check; for example,
    the constraint

      a ~ F b

    is obviously fine no matter what F expands to. And in this case we
    would rather unify a with F b (rather than F b's expansion) in order
    to get better error messages later.

    So, when doing an occurs check with a type synonym application on the
    RHS, we use some heuristics to find an expansion of the RHS which does
    not contain the variable from the LHS.  In particular, given

      a ~ F t1 ... tn

    we first try expanding each of the ti to types which no longer contain
    a.  If this turns out to be impossible, we next try expanding F
    itself, and so on.  See Note [Occurs check expansion] in TcType

      ev is Given   => use ev_decomp to create new Givens for ev_preds,
                       and return them

      ev is Wanted  => create new wanteds for ev_preds,
                       use ev_comp to bind ev,
                       return fresh wanteds (ie ones not cached in inert_cans or solved)

      ev is Derived => create new deriveds for ev_preds
                          (unless cached in inert_cans or solved)

    Note: The [CtEvidence] returned is a subset of the subgoal-preds passed in
          Ones that are already cached are not returned

    Example
        ev : Tree a b ~ Tree c d
        xCtEvidence ev [a~c, b~d] (XEvTerm { ev_comp = \[c1 c2]. <Tree> c1 c2

    Note [Bind new Givens immediately]
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    For Givens we make new EvVars and bind them immediately. We don't worry
    about caching, but we don't expect complicated calculations among Givens.
    It is important to bind each given:
          class (a~b) => C a b where ....
          f :: C a b => ....
    Then in f's Givens we have g:(C a b) and the superclass sc(g,0):a~b.
    But that superclass selector can't (yet) appear in a coercion
    (see evTermCoercion), so the easy thing is to bind it to an Id.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    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.
