// This is an example where the older inference algorithm failed. The
// specifics of why it failed are somewhat, but not entirely, tailed
// to the algorithm. Ultimately the problem is that when computing the
// mutual supertype of both sides of the `if` it would be faced with a
// choice of tightening bounds or unifying variables and it took the
// wrong path. The new algorithm avoids this problem and hence this
// example typechecks correctly.
