-------------------------------- Deal properly with dual-renaming -------------------------------- When comparing types and terms, and during matching, we are faced with \x.e1 ~ \y.e2 There are many pitfalls here, and GHC has never done the job properly. Now, at last it does, using a new abstraction VarEnv.RnEnv2. See comments there for how it works. There are lots of consequential changes to use the new stuff, especially in types/Type (type comparison), types/Unify (matching on types) coreSyn/CoreUtils (equality on expressions), specialise/Rules (matching). I'm not 100% certain of that I've covered all the bases, so let me know if something unexpected happens after you update. Maybe wait until a nightly build has worked ok first!
