/**
* @assertion Allow generic function types as type arguments and bounds
*
* The language disallows generic function types as type arguments and bounds.
*
* late List<T Function<T>(T)> idFunctions; // INVALID.
* var callback = [foo<T>(T value) => value]; // Inferred as above, then invalid.
* late S Function<S extends T Function<T>(T)>(S) f; // INVALID.
*
* We remove that restriction, so a type argument and a bound can be a generic
* function type.
*
* This requires no new syntax, and in some cases only the removal of a single
* check. There might be some platforms where the implementation currently
* assumes that generic function types cannot occur as the value of type
* variables (an proof-of-concept attempt hit an assert in the VM). Such
* assumptions will need to be flushed out with tests and fixed.
*
* Because we already infer List<T Function<T>(T)> in the code above, this
* change will not affect type inference, it will just make the inferred type
* not be an error afterwards.
*
* We do not expect the removal of this restriction to affect the feasibility of
* type inference. After all, it's already possible to have a generic function
* type occurring covariantly in a type argument, like List<T Function<T>(T)
* Function()>.
* @description Checks statically that generic covariant function can be a type
* argument and bound for List.
