After staring at your bug confusedly for a few minutes, wondering why I
couldn't simplify it, I realized that the actual warning I was getting
was in *mkTcTransCo*, not rewriteEqEvidence. mkTcTransCo does not in
fact use a CallStack (by default) so the redundant constraint warning
there would be correct. If I add a call to error, everything seems to
check out.
Can you confirm?
Thanks!
