I have doubts whether solving all the current constraints whenever a
projection is found will work, especially with the Let-Polymorphism. Here
is a typed term which would break my typechecker:

let f = lam x => lam y => (x y).2
in f (lam z=> (z,z)) 5

Can it be assumed that these special cases will not be tested?

Thank you,
