    Interim fix for a nasty type-matching bug · 9218ea60
    Simon Peyton Jones authored
    The type matcher in types/Unify.hs was producing a substitution
    that had variables from the template in its range.  Yikes!
    
    This patch, documented in Note [Matching in the presence of casts],
    is an interm fix.  Richard and I don't like it much, and are
    pondering a better solution (Trac #14119).
    
    All this came up in investigating Trac #13910. Alas this patch
    doesn't fix #13910, which still has ASSERT failures, so I have
    not yet added a test.  But the patch does fix a definite bug.
