(** In the following functions, the [~leave_unresolved] labeled parameter
controls the behavior of the typer in the case where polymorphic expressions
are still found after typing: if set to [true], it allows them (giving them
[TAny] and losing typing information), if set to [false], it aborts. *)

('a, typed) boxed_gexpr
(** Infers and marks the types for the given expression. If [typ] is provided,
it is assumed to be the outer type and used for inference top-down.
If the input expression already has type annotations, the full inference is
still done, but with unification with the existing annotations at every
step. This can be used for double-checking after AST transformations and
filling the gaps ([TAny]) if any. Use [Expr.untype] first if this is not
what you want.
Note that typing also transparently performs the following changes to the
AST nodes, outside of typing annotations:
- disambiguation of constructors: [EDStructAccess] nodes are translated into
[EStructAccess] with the suitable structure and field idents (this only
concerns [desugared] expressions).
- resolution of operator types, which are stored (monomorphised) back in the
[EAppOp] nodes
- resolution of function application input types on the [EApp] nodes, when
that was originally empty ([[]]): this documents the arity of the function
application, taking de-tuplification into account.
- [TAny] appearing within nodes are refined to more precise types, e.g. on
`EAbs` nodes (but be careful with this, it may only work for specific
structures of generated code ; [~leave_unresolved:false] checks that it
didn't cause problems) *)

(** Same as [expr], but doesn't annotate the returned expression. Equivalent to
[Typing.expr |> Expr.untype], but more efficient. This can be useful for
type-checking and disambiguation (some AST nodes are updated with missing
information, e.g. any [TAny] appearing in the AST is replaced) *)

Any existing type annotations are checked for unification. Use
[Program.untype] to remove them beforehand if this is not the desired
behaviour. *)
