Now, when we have two aliases like
```
T a : [ A, B (U a) ]
U a : [ C, D (T a) ]
```
during the first pass, we simply canonicalize them but add neither to
the scope. This means that `T` will not be instantiated in the
definition of `U`. Only in the second pass, during correction, do we
instantiate both aliases **independently**:
```
T a : [ A, B [ C, D (T a) ] ]
U a : [ C, D [ A, B (U a) ] ]
```
and now we can mark each recursive, individually:
```
T a : [ A, B [ C, D <rec1> ] ] as <rec1>
U a : [ C, D [ A, B <rec2> ] ] as <rec2>
```
This means that the surface types shown to users might be a bit larger,
but it has the benefit that everything needed to understand a layout of
a type in later passes is stored on the type directly, and we don't need
to keep alias mappings.
Since we sort by connected components, this should be complete.

Previously we would pass the annotation down as the
type-to-be-monomorphized for, but that would just mean the annotation
would unify with itself. We instead want to use the variable the thunk
is being used as to be the one unified with the thunk's annotation.

This is a bit.. ugly, or at least seems suboptimal, but I can't think of
a better way to do it currently aside from demanding a uniform
representation, which we probably don't want to do.
Another option is something like the defunctionalization we perform
today, except also capturing potential uses of nested functions in the
closure tag of an encompassing lambda. So for example,
```
f = \x -> \y -> 1
```
would now record a lambdaset with the data `[Test.f
[TypeOfInnerClos1]]`, where `TypeOfInnerClos1` is e.g.
`[Test.f.innerClos1 I8, Test.f.innerClos1 I16]`, symbolizing that the
inner closure may be specialized to take an I8 or I16. Then at the time
that we create the capture set for `f`, we create a tag noting what
specialization should be used for the inner closure, and apply the
current defunctionalization algorithm. So effectively, the type of the
inner closure becomes a capture.
I'm not sure if this is any better, or if it has more problems.
@folkertdev any thoughts?
