and the unification rules are fine-tuned accordingly.

<p>
Type unification is controlled by a <i>matching mode</i>, which may
be <i>exact</i> or <i>loose</i>.
As unification recursively descends a composite type structure,

remains the same as the matching mode except when two types are unified for
