// If t is a type parameter, the implied type set is the type set of t's constraint.
// In that case, if there are no specific terms, typeset calls yield with (nil, nil).
// If t is not a type parameter, the implied type set consists of just t.
// In any case, typeset is guaranteed to call yield at least once.

// If t is not a type parameter, coreType returns the underlying type.
// If t is a type parameter, coreType returns the single underlying
// type of all types in its type set if it exists, or nil otherwise. If the
// type set contains only unrestricted and restricted channel types (with
// identical element types), the single underlying type is the restricted
// channel type if the restrictions are always the same, or nil otherwise.

// If x and y are identical channels but for their direction
// and one of them is unrestricted, match returns the channel
