(* This code (i.e. solve_pb, etc.) takes a unification
 * problem, and tries to solve it. If it solves it, then it removes
 * all the conversion problems, and re-runs conversion on each one, in
 * the hopes that the new solution will aid in solving them.
 *
 * The kinds of problems it knows how to solve are those in which
 * the usable arguments of an existential var are all themselves
 * universal variables.
 * The solution to this problem is to do renaming for the Var's,
 * to make them match up with the Var's which are found in the
 * hyps of the existential, to do a "pop" for each Rel which is
 * not an argument of the existential, and a subst1 for each which
 * is, again, with the corresponding variable. This is done by
 * define
 *
 * Thus, we take the arguments of the existential which we are about
 * to assign, and zip them with the identifiers in the hypotheses.
 * Then, we process all the Var's in the arguments, and sort the
 * Rel's into ascending order.  Then, we just march up, doing
 * subst1's and pop's.
 *
 * NOTE: We can do this more efficiently for the relative arguments,
 * by building a long substituend by hand, but this is a pain in the
 * ass.
