//! Applies the "bivariance relationship" to two types and/or regions.
//! If (A,B) are bivariant then either A <: B or B <: A. It occurs
//! when type/lifetime parameters are unconstrained. Usually this is
//! an error, but we permit it in the specific case where a type
//! parameter is constrained in a where-clause via an associated type.
//!
//! There are several ways one could implement bivariance. You could
//! just do nothing at all, for example, or you could fully verify
//! that one of the two subtyping relationships hold. We choose to
//! thread a middle line: we relate types up to regions, but ignore
//! all region relationships.
//!
//! At one point, handling bivariance in this fashion was necessary
//! for inference, but I'm actually not sure if that is true anymore.
//! In particular, it might be enough to say (A,B) are bivariant for
//! all (A,B).
