alias_relate.rs

//! Implements the `AliasRelate` goal, which is used when unifying aliases.
//! Doing this via a separate goal is called "deferred alias relation" and part
//! of our more general approach to "lazy normalization".
//!
//! This is done by first structurally normalizing both sides of the goal, ending
//! up in either a concrete type, rigid alias, or an infer variable.
//! These are related further according to the rules below:
//!
//! (1.) If we end up with two rigid aliases, then we relate them structurally.
//!
//! (2.) If we end up with an infer var and a rigid alias, then we instantiate
//! the infer var with the constructor of the alias and then recursively relate
//! the terms.
//!
//! (3.) Otherwise, if we end with two rigid (non-projection) or infer types,
//! relate them structurally.
