Richard,
Looks good, but *surely* worth a Note [unSubCo] in the file? It's manifestly non-obvious or you'd have done this from day 1. Moreover, the *reason* Conal needed it, and the new optimsations it enables, are also non-obvious and deserve examples!
Evernyone: my obsession with Notes is born of the hours I have spent staring at code that has cases I don't understand; or "fixing" something turned out to be there for a good but undocumented reason.
Going back to unSubCo, I think the start of the documentation could be
if g :: t1 ~R t2
then unSubCo g :: t ~N t2
(if it succeeds at all).
But why do we need it? And what optimisations do we get?
Thanks
Simon

|
| Improve implementation of unSubCo_maybe.
|
| This is the result of an email conversation (off list) with
| Conal Elliott, who needed a stronger unSubCo_maybe. This
| commit adds cases to upgrade the role of a coercion when
| recursion is necessary to do say (for example, for a use of
| TransCo). As a side effect, more coercion optimizations are
| now possible.
|
| This was not done previously because unSubCo_maybe was used
| only during coercion optimization, and the recursive cases
| looked to be unlikely. However, adding them can cause no harm.
|
| unSubCo_maybe is now also exported from Coercion, for use
| cases like Conal's.
