Matching is much tricker than you might think.

1. The substitution we generate binds the *template type variables*
   which are given to us explicitly.

2. We want to match in the presence of foralls;
        e.g     (forall a. t1) ~ (forall b. t2)

   That is what the RnEnv2 is for; it does the alpha-renaming
   that makes it as if a and b were the same variable.
   Initialising the RnEnv2, so that it can generate a fresh
   binder when necessary, entails knowing the free variables of
   both types.

3. We must be careful not to bind a template type variable to a
   locally bound variable.  E.g.
        (forall a. x) ~ (forall b. b)
   where x is the template type variable.  Then we do not want to
   bind x to a/b!  This is a kind of occurs check.
   The necessary locals accumulate in the RnEnv2.

Note [Pruning dead case alternatives]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Consider        data T a where
                   T1 :: T Int
                   T2 :: T a

                newtype X = MkX Int
                newtype Y = MkY Char

                type family F a
                type instance F Bool = Int

Now consider    case x of { T1 -> e1; T2 -> e2 }

The question before the house is this: if I know something about the type
of x, can I prune away the T1 alternative?

Suppose x::T Char.  It's impossible to construct a (T Char) using T1,
        Answer = YES we can prune the T1 branch (clearly)

Suppose x::T (F a), where 'a' is in scope.  Then 'a' might be instantiated
to 'Bool', in which case x::T Int, so
        ANSWER = NO (clearly)

Suppose x::T X.  Then *in Haskell* it's impossible to construct a (non-bottom)
value of type (T X) using T1.  But *in FC* it's quite possible.  The newtype
gives a coercion
        CoX :: X ~ Int
So (T CoX) :: T X ~ T Int; hence (T1 `cast` sym (T CoX)) is a non-bottom value
of type (T X) constructed with T1.  Hence
        ANSWER = NO we can't prune the T1 branch (surprisingly)

Furthermore, this can even happen; see Trac #1251.  GHC's newtype-deriving
mechanism uses a cast, just as above, to move from one dictionary to another,
in effect giving the programmer access to CoX.

Finally, suppose x::T Y.  Then *even in FC* we can't construct a
non-bottom value of type (T Y) using T1.  That's because we can get
from Y to Char, but not to Int.


Here's a related question.      data Eq a b where EQ :: Eq a a
Consider
        case x of { EQ -> ... }

Suppose x::Eq Int Char.  Is the alternative dead?  Clearly yes.

What about x::Eq Int a, in a context where we have evidence that a~Char.
Then again the alternative is dead.


                        Summary

We are really doing a test for unsatisfiability of the type
constraints implied by the match. And that is clearly, in general, a
hard thing to do.

However, since we are simply dropping dead code, a conservative test
suffices.  There is a continuum of tests, ranging from easy to hard, that
drop more and more dead code.

For now we implement a very simple test: type variables match
anything, type functions (incl newtypes) match anything, and only
distinct data types fail to match.  We can elaborate later.

Note [Fine-grained unification]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Do the types (x, x) and ([y], y) unify? The answer is seemingly "no" --
no substitution to finite types makes these match. But, a substitution to
*infinite* types can unify these two types: [x |-> [[[...]]], y |-> [[[...]]] ].
Why do we care? Consider these two type family instances:

type instance F x x   = Int
type instance F [y] y = Bool

If we also have

type instance Looper = [Looper]

then the instances potentially overlap. The solution is to use unification
over infinite terms. This is possible (see [1] for lots of gory details), but
a full algorithm is a little more power than we need. Instead, we make a
conservative approximation and just omit the occurs check.

[1]: http://research.microsoft.com/en-us/um/people/simonpj/papers/ext-f/axioms-extended.pdf

tcUnifyTys considers an occurs-check problem as the same as general unification
failure.

tcUnifyTysFG ("fine-grained") returns one of three results: success, occurs-check
failure ("MaybeApart"), or general failure ("SurelyApart").

See also Trac #8162.

It's worth noting that unification in the presence of infinite types is not
complete. This means that, sometimes, a closed type family does not reduce
when it should. See test case indexed-types/should_fail/Overlap15 for an
example.

Note [The substitution in MaybeApart]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The constructor MaybeApart carries data with it, typically a TvSubstEnv. Why?
Because consider unifying these:

(a, a, Int) ~ (b, [b], Bool)

If we go left-to-right, we start with [a |-> b]. Then, on the middle terms, we
apply the subst we have so far and discover that we need [b |-> [b]]. Because
this fails the occurs check, we say that the types are MaybeApart (see above
Note [Fine-grained unification]). But, we can't stop there! Because if we
continue, we discover that Int is SurelyApart from Bool, and therefore the
types are apart. This has practical consequences for the ability for closed
type family applications to reduce. See test case
indexed-types/should_compile/Overlap14.

Note [Unifying with skolems]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
If we discover that two types unify if and only if a skolem variable is
substituted, we can't properly unify the types. But, that skolem variable
may later be instantiated with a unifyable type. So, we return maybeApart
in these cases.

Note [Lists of different lengths are MaybeApart]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It is unusual to call tcUnifyTys or tcUnifyTysFG with lists of different
lengths. The place where we know this can happen is from compatibleBranches in
FamInstEnv, when checking data family instances. Data family instances may be
eta-reduced; see Note [Eta reduction for data family axioms] in TcInstDcls.

We wish to say that

  D :: * -> * -> *
  axDF1 :: D Int ~ DFInst1
  axDF2 :: D Int Bool ~ DFInst2

overlap. If we conclude that lists of different lengths are SurelyApart, then
it will look like these do *not* overlap, causing disaster. See Trac #9371.

In usages of tcUnifyTys outside of family instances, we always use tcUnifyTys,
which can't tell the difference between MaybeApart and SurelyApart, so those
usages won't notice this design choice.

Note [Non-idempotent substitution]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
During unification we use a TvSubstEnv that is
  (a) non-idempotent
  (b) loop-free; ie repeatedly applying it yields a fixed point

Note [Finding the substitution fixpoint]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Finding the fixpoint of a non-idempotent substitution arising from a
unification is harder than it looks, because of kinds.  Consider
   T k (H k (f:k)) ~ T * (g:*)
If we unify, we get the substitution
   [ k -> *
   , g -> H k (f:k) ]
To make it idempotent we don't want to get just
   [ k -> *
   , g -> H * (f:k) ]
We also want to substitute inside f's kind, to get
   [ k -> *
   , g -> H k (f:*) ]
If we don't do this, we may apply the substitition to something,
and get an ill-formed type, i.e. one where typeKind will fail.
This happened, for example, in Trac #9106.

This is the reason for extending env with [f:k -> f:*], in the
definition of env' in niFixTvSubst
