we should try to clean up our type relations further:

  • try to unify Equate and Sub to make them closer to nll::TypeRelating
  • merge Lub and Glb into the same (maybe generic) type relation, prolly just with a field
  • reuse more components, e.g. instantiating infer vars should be shared, not only generalize
  • completely merge Equate/Sub and nll:TypeRelating

I intend to look into this myself but would also appreciate some help. This is a quite involved and sometimes subtle area however and I don't have the capacity for in-depth mentoring rn

deduplicate infer var instantiation

Having 3 separate implementations of one of the most subtle parts of our type system is not a good strategy if we want to maintain a sound type system ✨ while working on this I already found some subtle bugs in the existing code, so that's awesome 🎉 cc rust-lang#121159

This was necessary as I am not confident in my nll changes in rust-lang#119106, so I am first cleaning this up in a separate PR.

It seems to be done by #121462, I guess?

completely merge Equate/Sub and nll:TypeRelating

And nll::TypeRelating is moved into rustc_borrowck in #121321
