Beware of the interaction with GADTs:
Due to the introduction of object indexes for GADTs, the row variable of
an object may now be an expansible type abbreviation.
A first consequence is that [flatten_fields] will not completely flatten
the object, since the type abbreviation will not be expanded
([flatten_fields] does not receive the current environment).
Another consequence is that various functions may be called with the
expansion of this type abbreviation, which is a Tfield, e.g. during
printing.
Concrete problems have been fixed, but new bugs may appear in the
future. (Test cases were added to typing-gadts/test.ml)
