This commit fixes some bugs for coercions. 1. Applying coercion should work correctly w.r.t. unification (see modules TrickyPolymorphic(Alpha|Beta) in bench/typing/good/coercions.mlw). 2. Union of two coercion maps now works correctly w.r.t. adding the same coercion twice even if it is transitive closure (see module SameTransitivityCheck in bench/typing/good/coercions.mlw). 3. Coercion error printing is now listing all components of conflicting coercion (see bench/typing/bad/coercion_cycle3.mlw for example). In this version, we still just lookup at head tysymbols to decide whether a coercion can be applied. This can be improved by taking into account also the types of arguments to decide earlier that a coercion cannot be applied. For instance, given type t 'a function f (t int) : int meta coercion function f goal G: forall x: t bool. x = 42 results now in an error message This term has type t bool, but is expected to have type t int We can do better, detecting that a coercion f cannot be applied to [x] at all. To be done.
