Where "simple" means the solution is just a local variable or smaller
metavariable application. This is a big win when environments get big,
and I suspect there might be more where this came from if we always
shrink the environments of metavariable solutions as far as possible. It
really saves a lot of work in "quote" in particular.
Surprisingly == on Nat in the Idris prelude is linear! So shortcut that
by converting to an Integer first. Also a couple of small things in the
evaluator that have a small but noticeable effect when environments are
big.
This has shown up a problem with 'case' which is hard to fix - since it
works by generating a function with the appropriate type, it's hard to
ensure that let bindings computational behaviour is propagated while
maintaining appropriate dependencies between arguments and keeping the
let so that it only evaluates once. So, I've disabled the computational
behaviour of 'let' inside case blocks. I hope this isn't a big
inconvenience (there are workarounds if it's ever needed, anyway).
Need to add by full name, due to ordering of loading (the name it's
attached to may not be resolved yet!). This doesn't seem to cause any
performance problems but we can revisit if it does.
Don't use the type of a scrutinee to restrict possible patterns, because
it might have been refined by a Rig0 argument that has a missing case.
Instead, generate all the possible cases and check that the generated
ones are impossible (there's no obvious change in performance)
Small change needed to fix one - assume given implicits which are of the
form x@_ arise from types. It's a bit of a hack but I don't think
there's any need for anything more complicated.
Only valid if unifying the pattern at the end doesn't solve any
metavariables. Also when elaborating applications of fromInteger etc to
constants on the LHS we need to be in expression mode, then reduce the
result later.
This was a slight difference from Blodwen that wasn't accounted for -
there might be lets in the nested environment, so when building the
expanded application type, make sure we go under them
This wasn't necessary before, since we always inlined, but since we can
now postpone things longer and don't always inline until much later, we
need to know what names everything refers to earlier.
