// The unifier maintains two separate sets of type parameters x and y
// which are used to resolve type parameters in the x and y arguments
// provided to the unify call. For unidirectional unification, only
// one of these sets (say x) is provided, and then type parameters are
// only resolved for the x argument passed to unify, not the y argument
// (even if that also contains possibly the same type parameters). This
// is crucial to infer the type parameters of self-recursive calls:
//
//      func f[P any](a P) { f(a) }
//
// For the call f(a) we want to infer that the type argument for P is P.
// During unification, the parameter type P must be resolved to the type
// parameter P ("x" side), but the argument type P must be left alone so
// that unification resolves the type parameter P to P.
//
// For bidirection unification, both sets are provided. This enables
// unification to go from argument to parameter type and vice versa.
// For constraint type inference, we use bidirectional unification
// where both the x and y type parameters are identical. This is done
// by setting up one of them (using init) and then assigning its value
// to the other.

// A unifier maintains the current type parameters for x and y
// and the respective types inferred for each type parameter.
