Comment (by goldfire):

 Why doesn't `co2` float out? We really shouldn't float `co1` out if we
 don't float `co2` out. The fact that it works without deferred type errors
 is just a fluke, really. (What if `co2` ends up being filled in with a
 coercion that mentions `x`?)

 I think this can be fixed just by adding a little more logic to the float-
 out code. Unfortunately, it also means that we need to calculate floating-
 out in dependency order (so we can process `co2` before even looking at
 `co1`. It makes the floating-out code a little more intricate, but the
 complication should be quite local.

 Does that sound reasonable?
