/// Tracks upper and lower type bounds for a set of type parameters.
///
/// This class is used by calling [isSubtypeOf]. When it encounters one of
/// the type parameters it is inferring, it will record the constraint, and
/// optimistically assume the constraint will be satisfied.
///
/// For example if we are inferring type parameter A, and we ask if
/// `A <: num`, this will record that A must be a subytpe of `num`. It also
/// handles cases when A appears as part of the structure of another type, for
/// example `Iterable<A> <: Iterable<num>` would infer the same constraint
/// (due to covariant generic types) as would `() -> A <: () -> num`. In
/// contrast `(A) -> void <: (num) -> void`.
///
/// Once the lower/upper bounds are determined, [infer] should be called to
/// finish the inference. It will instantiate a generic function type with the
/// inferred types for each type parameter.
///
/// It can also optionally compute a partial solution, in case some of the type
/// parameters could not be inferred (because the constraints cannot be
/// satisfied), or bail on the inference when this happens.
///
/// As currently designed, an instance of this class should only be used to
/// infer a single call and discarded immediately afterwards.
