Sorry for the less than informative title :). Lots going on here. It
started as an attempt to fix unification to deal with laziness coercions
in trickier places, but unearthed a couple of tricky and interconnected
issues that are hard to unpick into a single patch. So, this fixes a few
things:

- default hints should only be resolved on the current elaboration (e.g.
nested function definitions, not the outer definition which might not
yet be complete)
- delayed elaborators should be allowed to have nested delayed
elaborators, which means disambiguation is a little bit better
- we should delay elaborating arguments where the type isn't known yet,
because later arguments may resolve the type, and we can use this to
help with disambiguation/laziness coercions
- other bits and pieces arising

04e4ebf80e Better approach to erasure in pattern matching
It's a big patch, but the summary is that it's okay to use a pattern in
an erased position if either:

- the pattern can also be solved by unification (this is the same as
  'dot patterns' for matching on non-constructor forms)
- the argument position is detaggable w.r.t. non-erased arguments, which
  means we can tell which pattern it is without pattern matching

The second case, in particular, means we can still pattern match on
proof terms which turn out to be irrelevant, especially Refl.

Fixes #178

4ab543b83d A bit more library support, for Chapter 9
Also a tweak to errors when compiling to scheme, so that it properly
reports an error then quits if it's supposed to crash.
