If it is intended, I'll probably write a follow-up question asking for more advice. The constraint solver is looping unproductively because my plugin keeps discarding the (re-)emitted [D] shadow as a tautology, then the [W] "unsplits" during canonicalization
(even though my plugin didn't touch the [W]), this re-emits the same [D] (via a fundep), and so on.<o:p></o:p></p>

My continual disclaimer recently is that I'm seeing this behavior with my in-development plugin activated, so it's entirely I'm pushing GHC into unfamiliar waters or even just plain violating some invariants without realizing it. But this trace looks rather
isolated from plugins.<o:p></o:p></p>
