Closes #1888. When we discovered a type mismatch, we were not fully substituting everything we had learned about the types (via
applyBindings
) before reporting the error. For example, in #1888 we had2 : u1
and a unification constraintu1 = Int -> u2
, but we were just reporting the type of2
asu1
rather than first substitutingInt -> u2
foru1
.I think we have had this problem for a while, but the recent rewrite of the unification engine possibly made the effects more noticeable.
This incidentally improved a couple more error messages in the test suite. =)
