   * 2. If the first type is a type parameter, replace it with its bound,

   *    of bound variables in scope in that argument position.
   * 3. If the second type is a type parameter, do the symmetric operation
   *    to #2.
   *
   * It's not immediately obvious why this is symmetric in the case that both

   * is antisymmetric.  For #2, it's clearly not symmetric if upper bounds of
