 * @assertion Here are some examples of finite unfoldings, and the effect they

 *   C(this.next);
 * }
 *
 *  class D extends C<D> {
 *    D(D next): super(next);

 *   C<C<dynamic>> c1 = d;
 *   C<C<C<dynamic>>> c2 = d;
 *
 *   c0.next.unknown(42); // Statically OK, `c0.next` is `dynamic`.
 *   c1.next.unknown(43); // Compile-time error.
 *   c1.next.next.unknown(44); // Statically OK.
 *   c2.next.next.unknown(45); // Compile-time error.
 *   c2.next.next.next.unknown(46); // Statically OK.
 *
 *   // With type `D`, the static analysis is aware of the cyclic
 *   // structure of the type, and every level of nesting is handled
 *   // safely. But `D` may be less useful because there may be a
 *   // similar type `D2`, and this code will only work with `D`.
