It improves compile time in `--release` mode quite a bit, it doesn't
really slow things down and, conceptually, it seems closer to what we
want the physical architecture to look like (we don't want to
monomorphise EVERYTHING in a single leaf crate).
Basically, we need to allow variables in the caller self type to unify with the
impl's declared self type. That requires some more contortions in the variable
handling. I'm looking forward to (hopefully) handling this in a cleaner way when
we switch to Chalk's types and unification code.
The stand-alone `unify` requires that the type doesn't contain any type
variables. So we can't share the code here for now (without more refactoring)...
