This is just a simple transcript to regression check an ability
inference/checking issue.
```unison
2021-08-24 21:33:27 +03:00
structural ability R t where
2021-07-12 17:45:07 +03:00
die : () -> x
near.impl : Nat -> Either () [Nat]
R.near n = match near.impl n with
Left e -> die ()
Right a -> a
R.near1 region loc = match R.near 42 with
[loc] -> loc
ls -> R.die ()
```
The issue was that abilities with parameters like this were sometimes
causing failures like this because the variable in the parameter would
escape to a scope where it no longer made sense. Then solving would
fail because the type was invalid.
The fix was to avoid dropping certain existential variables out of
scope.
