I've a bit stuck in understanding of
enforce_generic_type_consistency(). There is a set of "argument
declared..." errors. But they aren't present in regression tests.
And I didn't manage to reproduce them, because a function is filtered
out before entering enforce_generic_type_consistency() and I get just
"No function matches ..." error.
Are "argument declared..." errors just internal, which users shouldn't
normally see. Or do they happen in some circumstances? If latter,
then I think it should be added to the regression tests.
I really appreciate a hint here.
