+// This currently hangs if we do not erase constraints from
+// overflow.
+//
+// We set the provisional result of `W<?0>` to `?0 := W<_>`.
+// The next iteration does not simply result in a `?0 := W<W<_>` constraint as
+// one might expect, but instead each time we evaluate the nested `W<T>` goal we
+// apply the previously returned constraints: the first fixpoint iteration goes
+// as follows: `W<?1>: Trait` constrains `?1` to `W<?2>`, we then evaluate
+// `W<W<?2>>: Trait` the next time we try to prove the nested goal. This results
+// inn `W<W<W<?3>>>` and so on. This goes on until we reach overflow in
+// `try_evaluate_added_goals`.  This means the provisional result after the
+// second fixpoint iteration is already `W<W<W<...>>>` with a size proportional
+// to the number of steps in `try_evaluate_added_goals`. The size then grows
+// exponentially with each fixpoint iteration.
