This change also means we must update the interface of `Dict.empty` and
`Set.empty` from
```
Dict.empty : Dict k v
```
to
```
Dict.empty : {} -> Dict k v
```
The nullable ID always has zero tags. For everything else, we should
just match with the arity of the number of arguments, which doesn't
include the tag ID.
Previously, if the lambda set passed to a HOLL contained any function
that captured, we would assume that the specialization of the HOLL we
should make for each function in the lambda set that we dispatch to
should capture.
This is not right. Instead, we should specialize for each lambda in the
set passed to the HOLL. The present patch enforces that, making sure
that for each lambda in the set, we compute the exact proc layout needed
to call the lambda, based on the captures of the specific lambda in the
set, rather than looking at the set entirely.
Some of the head-constructor tests we generate can be supersets of other tests.
Edges must be ordered so that more general tests always happen after their
specialized variants.
For example, patterns
[1, ..] -> ...
[2, 1, ..] -> ...
may generate the edges
ListLen(>=1) -> <rest>
ListLen(>=2) -> <rest>
but evaluated in exactly this order, the second edge is never reachable.
The necessary ordering is
ListLen(>=2) -> <rest>
ListLen(>=1) -> <rest>

Now that mono does not store expect lookup layouts, the layout cache
should be primed only when specializing the condition of an expect, and
so #4749 is resolved.
Closes#4749
When we transform a top-level expect into an inline expect, we collect
all intermediate defs before the expect condition, then layer the defs
back on. Because the layering procedure builds an expression bottom-up,
we must layer on defs in reverse definition order.
Closes#4705
When compiling a pattern match like
```
[] -> ..
[_] -> ..
[_, ..] -> ..
```
to a decision tree, we must make sure that the last test (len >= 1)
does not touch the branch reached by the second test (len == 1). It is
enough to ban (len >=) tests from ever touching exact-sized list
patterns, because a spread test (len >=) can never reach an exact-sized
test.
On the other hand, an exact-sized test can reach a spread pattern,
because in
```
[_, _] -> ..
[..] -> ..
```
the last branch generates tests for patterns `[]` and `[_]`, and we would
like those patterns to be covered by the spread test (len >= 0)!
Closes#4685
