Formally, when a type
T where T : Differentiablegets abstracted as a function(X...) -> Tfor anyX..., the differentiability of the abstracted type depends entirely on the differentiability ofT. Since structural types cannot conform to protocols yet in Swift, we need to handle in AD-associated type calculation the same way we handle tuples.The type calculation rules are better described as code, in imaginary syntax where parameterized extensions, variadic generic parameters, and protocol conformances for structural types are supported.
This is a crucial step towards the correct typing of curried differentiable functions, which helps us differentiate through curry thunks for methods.
Partially resolves SR-9448, which needs this patch to be able to calculate the associate vector space of a curried function.
