   (p11 ... p1n -> rhs1)
   (    ...            )
   (pm1 ... pmn -> rhsm)

  Terms to match: there are 3 kinds of instructions

  - "Pushed" terms to match are typed in [env]; these are usually just
    Rel(n) except for the initial terms given by user and typed in [env]
  - "Abstract" instructions means an abstraction has to be inserted in the
    current branch to build (this means a pattern has been detected dependent
    in another one and generalisation is necessary to ensure well-typing)
  - "Alias" instructions means an alias has to be inserted (this alias
    is usually removed at the end, except when its type is not the
    same as the type of the matched term from which it comes -
    typically because the inductive types are "real" parameters)

  Right-hand-sides:

  They consist of a raw term to type in an environment specific to the
  clause they belong to: the names of declarations are those of the
  variables present in the patterns. Therefore, they come with their
  own [rhs_env] (actually it is the same as [env] except for the names
  of variables).

(* Infering the predicate *)
(*
The problem to solve is the following:

We match Gamma |- t : I(u01..u0q) against the following constructors:

  Gamma, x11...x1p1 |- C1(x11..x1p1) : I(u11..u1q)
   ...
  Gamma, xn1...xnpn |- Cn(xn1..xnp1) : I(un1..unq)

Assume the types in the branches are the following

  Gamma, x11...x1p1 |- branch1 : T1
   ...
  Gamma, xn1...xnpn |- branchn : Tn

Assume the type of the global case expression is Gamma |- T

The predicate has the form phi = [y1..yq][z:I(y1..yq)]? and must satisfy
the following n+1 equations:

  Gamma, x11...x1p1 |- (phi u11..u1q (C1 x11..x1p1))  =  T1
   ...
  Gamma, xn1...xnpn |- (phi un1..unq (Cn xn1..xnpn))  =  Tn
  Gamma             |- (phi u01..u0q t)               =  T

Some hints:

- Clearly, if xij occurs in Ti, then, a "match z with (Ci xi1..xipi)
  => ..."  or a "psi(yk)", with psi extracting xij from uik, should be
  inserted somewhere in Ti.

- If T is undefined, an easy solution is to insert a "match z with (Ci
  xi1..xipi) => ..." in front of each Ti

- Otherwise, T1..Tn and T must be step by step unified, if some of them
  diverge, then try to replace the diverging subterm by one of y1..yq or z.

- The main problem is what to do when an existential variables is encountered

(* Let "match t1 in I1 u11..u1n_1 ... tm in Im um1..umn_m with ... end : T"
   be a pattern-matching problem. We assume that the each uij can be
   decomposed under the form pij(vij1..vijq_ij) where pij(aij1..aijq_ij)
   is a pattern depending on some variables aijk and the vijk are
   instances of these variables.  We also assume that each ti has the
   form of a pattern qi(wi1..wiq_i) where qi(bi1..biq_i) is a pattern
   depending on some variables bik and the wik are instances of these
   variables (in practice, there is no reason that ti is already
   constructed and the qi will be degenerated).

   We then look for a type U(..a1jk..b1 .. ..amjk..bm) so that 
   T = U(..v1jk..t1 .. ..vmjk..tm). This a higher-order matching
   problem with a priori different solution (one of them if T itself!).

   We finally invert the uij and the ti and build the return clause

   phi(x11..x1n_1y1..xm1..xmn_mym) =
     match x11..x1n_1 y1 .. xm1..xmn_m ym with

    end

   so that "phi(u11..u1n_1t1..um1..umn_mtm) = T" (note that the clause
   returning True never happens and any inhabited type can be put instead).
