/// The produced generic environment will have a fresh set of archetypes that
/// describe the combined constraints of the requirement (because those
/// are available to all potential witnesses) as well as the constraints from
/// the context to which the protocol conformance is ascribed, which may
/// include additional constraints beyond those of the extended type if the
/// conformance is conditional. The type parameters for the generic
/// environment are the type parameters of the conformance context
/// (\c conformanceDC) with another (deeper) level of type parameters for
/// generic requirements. See the \c Witness class for more information about
/// this synthetic environment.

  /// protocol P { func f<T>(_: T) }
  /// struct S<A, B> : P { func f<T>(_: T) }

  ///
  /// protocol P { func f(_: Int) }
  /// struct S<A, B> : P { func f<T>(_: T) { } }

  ///
  /// <Self : P>
  /// <A, B, T>
  ///
  /// The synthetic signature is just:

  /// <A, B>
