  constraint satisfaction algorithm:
  - keep lists of equality constraints and subtype constraints
    (invariant and covariant)
  - all constraints between two typevars are equality, i.e. it means the
    two corresponding typevars must end up with the same value. however
    they are kept in the subtype constraint list because they are not part
    of the final answer yet.
  - after computing the intersection, we try to solve the typevar constraints
  - for each equality constraint T=S, add T=S to the results
  - for each other constraint T=S, do
      if T=U is in the results
        if S is a typevar
