I figured out the problem with the bug from #431: when a fresh type
variable is created, it is "logged" into a hash table, using the
ty_of_dty
function, that maps it into another type variable with aunique name. However, there was one instance where we were creating
type variables without adding them to the hash table which was causing
problems when we ran the
ty_match
function (which I believe existsonly for integrity checking). This PR should fix this issue.
