     3The following is based on ideas for the new, post-ICFP'08 solving algorithm described in CVS `papers/type-synonym/new-single.tex`.  A revised version of `new-single.tex` that integrates the core ideas from this wiki page is in `papers/type-synonym/normalised_equations_algorithm.tex`.  Most of the code is in the module `TcTyFuns`.

     20The overall structure is as in `new-single.tex`, namely 
    2121 1. normalise all constraints (both locals and wanteds), 
    2222 2. solve the wanteds, and 
    2323 3. finalise. 
    24  
     24However, the three phases differ in important ways.  In particular, normalisation includes decompositions & the occurs check, and we don't instantiate any flexible type variables before we finalise (i.e., solving is purely local).
