(* Unification
 *
 * Procedure:
 * (1) The function [unify mc wc M N] produces two lists:
 *     (a) a list of bindings Meta->RHS
 *     (b) a list of bindings EVAR->RHS
 *
 * The Meta->RHS bindings cannot themselves contain
 * meta-vars, so they get applied eagerly to the other
 * bindings.  This may or may not close off all RHSs of
 * the EVARs.  For each EVAR whose RHS is closed off,
 * we can just apply it, and go on.  For each which
 * is not closed off, we need to do a mimick step -
 * in general, we have something like:
 *
 *      ?X == (c e1 e2 ... ei[Meta(k)] ... en)
 *
 * so we need to do a mimick step, converting ?X
 * into
 *
 *      ?X -> (c ?z1 ... ?zn)
 *
 * of the proper types.  Then, we can decompose the
 * equation into
 *
 *      ?z1 --> e1
 *          ...
 *      ?zi --> ei[Meta(k)]
 *          ...
 *      ?zn --> en
 *
 * and keep on going.  Whenever we find that a R.H.S.
 * is closed, we can, as before, apply the constraint
 * directly.  Whenever we find an equation of the form:
 *
 *      ?z -> Meta(n)
 *
 * we can reverse the equation, put it into our metavar
 * substitution, and keep going.
 *
 * The most efficient mimick possible is, for each
 * Meta-var remaining in the term, to declare a
 * new EVAR of the same type.  This is supposedly
 * determinable from the clausale form context -
 * we look up the metavar, take its type there,
 * and apply the metavar substitution to it, to
 * close it off.  But this might not always work,
 * since other metavars might also need to be resolved. *)
