Comment (by simonpj):

 > Perhaps we should just use this logic in check_arg_type as well?

 Yes, that looks plausible.  Moreover, `check_arg_type` is called from
 `check_syn_tc_app`, so maybe we can ''only'' do it in `check_arg_type`?

 (But there is one patch from `check_syn_tc_app` direct to `check_type`,
 bypassing `check_arg_type` for reasons that are not clear to me. If it
 could go to `check_arg_type` we'd be golden.
