(*
   Type manipulation after type inference
   ======================================
   If one wants to manipulate a type after type inference (for
   instance, during code generation or in the debugger), one must
   first make sure that the type levels are correct, using the
   function [correct_levels]. Then, this type can be correctely
   manipulated by [apply], [expand_abbrev] and [moregeneral].
*)

(*
   General notes
   =============
   - As much sharing as possible should be kept : it makes types
     smaller and better abbreviated.
     When necessary, some sharing can be lost. Types will still be
     printed correctly (+++ TO DO...), and abbreviations defined by a
     class do not depend on sharing thanks to constrained
     abbreviations. (Of course, even if some sharing is lost, typing
     will still be correct.)
   - All nodes of a type have a level : that way, one know whether a
     node need to be duplicated or not when instantiating a type.
   - Levels of a type are decreasing (generic level being considered
     as greatest).
   - The level of a type constructor is superior to the binding
     time of its path.
   - Recursive types without limitation should be handled (even if
     there is still an occur check). This avoid treating specially the
     case for objects, for instance. Furthermore, the occur check
     policy can then be easily changed.
*)

(*
   1. When unifying two non-abbreviated types, one type is made a link
      to the other. When unifying an abbreviated type with a
      non-abbreviated type, the non-abbreviated type is made a link to
      the other one. When unifying to abbreviated types, these two
      types are kept distincts, but they are made to (temporally)
      expand to the same type.
   2. Abbreviations with at least one parameter are systematically
      expanded. The overhead does not seem to high, and that way
      abbreviations where some parameters does not appear in the
      expansion, such as ['a t = int], are correctly handled. In
      particular, for this example, unifying ['a t] with ['b t] keeps
      ['a] and ['b] distincts. (Is it really important ?)
   3. Unifying an abbreviation ['a t = 'a] with ['a] should not yield
      ['a t as 'a]. Indeed, the type variable would otherwise be lost.
      This problem occurs for abbreviations expanding to a type
      variable, but also to many other constrained abbreviations (for
      instance, [(< x : 'a > -> unit) t = <x : 'a>]). The solution is
      that, if an abbreviation is unified with some subpart of its
      parameters, then the parameter actually does not get
      abbreviated.  It would be possible to check whether some
      information is indeed lost, but it probably does not worth it.

(*
    During the traversal, a trace of visited types is maintained. It
    is printed in case of error.
    Constraints (pairs of types that must be equals) are accumulated
    rather than being enforced straight. Indeed, the result would
    otherwise depend on the order in which these constraints are
    enforced.
    A function enforcing these constraints is returned. That way, type
    variables can be bound to their actual values before this function
    is called (see Typecore).
    Only well-defined abbreviations are expanded (hence the tests
    [generic_abbrev ...]).

   Variables are left unchanged. Other type nodes are duplicated, with

   During copying, the description of a (non-variable) node is first
   replaced by a link to a marked stub ([Tlink (newmarkedgenvar ())]).
   The mark allows to differentiate the original type from the copy.
   Once the copy is made, it replaces the stub.
   After copying, the description of node, which was stored by
   [save_desc], must be put back, using [cleanup_types], and the
   marks on the copy must be removed.
