// Test that this fairly specialized, but also reasonable, pattern

// wind up related to inference variables.
//
// NB. Changes to the region implementations have broken this pattern
// a few times, but it happens to be used in the compiler so those
// changes were caught. However, those uses in the compiler could
// easily get changed or refactored away in the future.
