Note [Herald for matchExpectedFunTys]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The 'herald' always looks like:
   "The equation(s) for 'f' have"
   "The abstraction (\x.e) takes"
   "The section (+ x) expects"
   "The function 'f' is applied to"

This is used to construct a message of form

   The abstraction `\Just 1 -> ...' takes two arguments
   but its type `Maybe a -> a' has only one

   The equation(s) for `f' have two arguments
   but its type `Maybe a -> a' has only one

   The section `(f 3)' requires 'f' to take two arguments
   but its type `Int -> Int' has only one

   The function 'f' is applied to two arguments
   but its type `Int -> Int' has only one

Note [matchExpectedFunTys]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
matchExpectedFunTys checks that an (Expected rho) has the form
of an n-ary function.  It passes the decomposed type to the
thing_inside, and returns a wrapper to coerce between the two types

It's used wherever a language construct must have a functional type,
namely:
        A lambda expression
        A function definition
     An operator section

This is not (currently) where deep skolemisation occurs;
matchExpectedFunTys does not skolmise nested foralls in the
expected type, because it expects that to have been done already

Note [Subsumption checking: tcSubType]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
All the tcSubType calls have the form
                tcSubType actual_ty expected_ty
which checks
                actual_ty <= expected_ty

That is, that a value of type actual_ty is acceptable in
a place expecting a value of type expected_ty.  I.e. that

    actual ty   is more polymorphic than   expected_ty

It returns a coercion function
        co_fn :: actual_ty ~ expected_ty
which takes an HsExpr of type actual_ty into one of type
expected_ty.

There are a number of wrinkles (below).

Notice that Wrinkle 1 and 2 both require eta-expansion, which technically
may increase termination.  We just put up with this, in exchange for getting
more predicatble type inference.

Wrinkle 1: Note [Deep skolemisation]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
We want   (forall a. Int -> a -> a)  <=  (Int -> forall a. a->a)
(see section 4.6 of "Practical type inference for higher rank types")
So we must deeply-skolemise the RHS before we instantiate the LHS.

That is why tc_sub_type starts with a call to tcGen (which does the
deep skolemisation), and then calls the DS variant (which assumes
that expected_ty is deeply skolemised)

Wrinkle 2: Note [Co/contra-variance of subsumption checking]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Consider  g :: (Int -> Int) -> Int
  f1 :: (forall a. a -> a) -> Int
  f1 = g

  f2 :: (forall a. a -> a) -> Int
  f2 x = g x
f2 will typecheck, and it would be odd/fragile if f1 did not.
But f1 will only typecheck if we have that
    (Int->Int) -> Int  <=  (forall a. a->a) -> Int
And that is only true if we do the full co/contravariant thing
in the subsumption check.  That happens in the FunTy case of
tc_sub_type_ds, and is the sole reason for the WpFun form of
HsWrapper.

Another powerful reason for doing this co/contra stuff is visible
in Trac #9569, involving instantiation of constraint variables,
and again involving eta-expansion.

Wrinkle 3: Note [Higher rank types]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Consider tc150:
  f y = \ (x::forall a. a->a). blah
The following happens:
* We will infer the type of the RHS, ie with a res_ty = alpha.
* Then the lambda will split  alpha := beta -> gamma.
* And then we'll check tcSubType IsSwapped beta (forall a. a->a)

So it's important that we unify beta := forall a. a->a, rather than
skolemising the type.

uType is the heart of the unifier.  Each arg occurs twice, because
we want to report errors in terms of synomyms if possible.  The first of
the pair is used in error messages only; it is always the same as the
second, except that if the first is a synonym then the second may be a
de-synonym'd version.  This way we get better error messages.

Note [Care with type applications]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Note: type applications need a bit of care!
They can match FunTy and TyConApp, so use splitAppTy_maybe
NB: we've already dealt with type variables and Notes,
so if one type is an App the other one jolly well better be too

Note [Unifying AppTy]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Consider unifying  (m Int) ~ (IO Int) where m is a unification variable
that is now bound to (say) (Bool ->).  Then we want to report
     "Can't unify (Bool -> Int) with (IO Int)
and not
     "Can't unify ((->) Bool) with IO"
That is why we use the "_np" variant of uType, which does not alter the error
message.

Note [Mismatched type lists and application decomposition]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
When we find two TyConApps, you might think that the argument lists
are guaranteed equal length.  But they aren't. Consider matching
        w (T x) ~ Foo (T x y)
We do match (w ~ Foo) first, but in some circumstances we simply create
a deferred constraint; and then go ahead and match (T x ~ T x y).
This came up in Trac #3950.

So either
   (a) either we must check for identical argument kinds
       when decomposing applications,

   (b) or we must be prepared for ill-kinded unification sub-problems

Currently we adopt (b) since it seems more robust -- no need to maintain
a global invariant.

Note [Expanding synonyms during unification]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
We expand synonyms during unification, but:
 * We expand *after* the variable case so that we tend to unify
   variables with un-expanded type synonym. This just makes it
   more likely that the inferred types will mention type synonyms
   understandable to the user

 * We expand *before* the TyConApp case.  For example, if we have
      type Phantom a = Int
   and are unifying
      Phantom Int ~ Phantom Char
   it is *wrong* to unify Int and Char.

Note [Deferred Unification]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
We may encounter a unification ty1 ~ ty2 that cannot be performed syntactically,
and yet its consistency is undetermined. Previously, there was no way to still
make it consistent. So a mismatch error was issued.

Now these unfications are deferred until constraint simplification, where type
family instances and given equations may (or may not) establish the consistency.
Deferred unifications are of the form
                F ... ~ ...
or              x ~ ...
where F is a type function and x is a type variable.
E.g.
        id :: x ~ y => x -> y
        id e = e

involves the unfication x = y. It is deferred until we bring into account the
context x ~ y to establish that it holds.

If available, we defer original types (rather than those where closed type
synonyms have already been expanded via tcCoreView).  This is, as usual, to
improve error messages.

Note [Conservative unification check]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
When unifying (tv ~ rhs), w try to avoid creating deferred constraints
only for efficiency.  However, we do not unify (the defer_me check) if
  a) There's an occurs check (tv is in fvs(rhs))
  b) There's a type-function call in 'rhs'

If we fail defer_me we use occurCheckExpand to try to make it pass,
(see Note [Type synonyms and the occur check]) and then use defer_me
again to check.  Example: Trac #4917)
       a ~ Const a b
where type Const a b = a.  We can solve this immediately, even when
'a' is a skolem, just by expanding the synonym.

We always defer type-function calls, even if it's be perfectly safe to
unify, eg (a ~ F [b]).  Reason: this ensures that the constraint
solver gets to see, and hence simplify the type-function call, which
in turn might simplify the type of an inferred function.  Test ghci046
is a case in point.

More mysteriously, test T7010 gave a horrible error
  T7010.hs:29:21:
    Couldn't match type `Serial (ValueTuple Float)' with `IO Float'
    Expected type: (ValueTuple Vector, ValueTuple Vector)
      Actual type: (ValueTuple Vector, ValueTuple Vector)
because an insoluble type function constraint got mixed up with
a soluble one when flattening.  I never fully understood this, but
deferring type-function applications made it go away :-(.
T5853 also got a less-good error message with more aggressive
unification of type functions.

Moreover the Note [Type family sharing] gives another reason, but
again I'm not sure if it's really valid.

Note [Type synonyms and the occur check]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Generally speaking we try to update a variable with type synonyms not
expanded, which improves later error messages, unless looking
inside a type synonym may help resolve a spurious occurs check
error. Consider:
          type A a = ()

          f :: (A a -> a -> ()) -> ()
          f = \ _ -> ()

          x :: ()
          x = f (\ x p -> p x)

We will eventually get a constraint of the form t ~ A t. The ok function above will
properly expand the type (A t) to just (), which is ok to be unified with t. If we had
unified with the original type A t, we would lead the type checker into an infinite loop.

Hence, if the occurs check fails for a type synonym application, then (and *only* then),
the ok function expands the synonym to detect opportunities for occurs check success using
the underlying definition of the type synonym.

The same applies later on in the constraint interaction code; see TcInteract,
function @occ_check_ok@.

Note [Type family sharing]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
We must avoid eagerly unifying type variables to types that contain function symbols,
because this may lead to loss of sharing, and in turn, in very poor performance of the
constraint simplifier. Assume that we have a wanted constraint:
{
  m1 ~ [F m2],
  m2 ~ [F m3],
  m3 ~ [F m4],
  D m1,
  D m2,
  D m3
}
where D is some type class. If we eagerly unify m1 := [F m2], m2 := [F m3], m3 := [F m4],
then, after zonking, our constraint simplifier will be faced with the following wanted
constraint:
{
  D [F [F [F m4]]],
  D [F [F m4]],
  D [F m4]
}
which has to be flattened by the constraint solver. In the absence of
a flat-cache, this may generate a polynomially larger number of
flatten skolems and the constraint sets we are working with will be
polynomially larger.

Instead, if we defer the unifications m1 := [F m2], etc. we will only
be generating three flatten skolems, which is the maximum possible
sharing arising from the original constraint.  That's why we used to
use a local "ok" function, a variant of TcType.occurCheckExpand.

HOWEVER, we *do* now have a flat-cache, which effectively recovers the
sharing, so there's no great harm in losing it -- and it's generally
more efficient to do the unification up-front.

Note [Unifying untouchables]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
We treat an untouchable type variable as if it was a skolem.  That
ensures it won't unify with anything.  It's a slight had, because
we return a made-up TcTyVarDetails, but I think it works smoothly.

************************************************************************

Unifying kinds is much, much simpler than unifying types.

One small wrinkle is that as far as the user is concerned, types of kind
Constraint should only be allowed to occur where we expect *exactly* that kind.
We SHOULD NOT allow a type of kind fact to appear in a position expecting
one of argTypeKind or openTypeKind.

The situation is different in the core of the compiler, where we are perfectly
happy to have types of kind Constraint on either end of an arrow.

Note [Kind variables can be untouchable]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
We must use the careful function lookupTcTyVar to see if a kind
variable is filled or unifiable.  It checks for touchablity, and kind
variables can certainly be untouchable --- for example the variable
might be bound outside an enclosing existental pattern match that
binds an inner kind variable, which we don't want to escape outside.

This, or something closely related, was the cause of Trac #8985.

Note [Unifying kind variables]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Rather hackily, kind variables can be TyVars not just TcTyVars.
Main reason is in
   data instance T (D (x :: k)) = ...con-decls...
Here we bring into scope a kind variable 'k', and use it in the
con-decls.  BUT the con-decls will be finished and frozen, and
are not amenable to subsequent substitution, so it makes sense
to have the *final* kind-variable (a KindVar, not a TcKindVar) in
scope.  So at least during kind unification we can encounter a
KindVar.

Hence the isTcTyVar tests before calling lookupTcTyVar.
