7f86f32699 where predicates admit operators, and a type variable is move-only until it says otherwise
The spike proved the shape; this makes it the feature. A generic body is
still checked abstractly once, but now it may be told what to assume:
{:where (ordered? $t)} at the head of the body, Clojure's {:pre [...]}
spelling, with five predicates - ordered?, equal?, hashable?, numeric?
and copyable?.

The syntax catch settled structurally: {K V} is still a legal return
type, and a constraint map is told from one by its leading keyword. A
keyword is not a type anywhere in the language, so the slot after the
return type is unambiguous and {K V} did not have to go.

A type variable is move-only by default, with copyable? the opt-out.
Move is the stricter rule, so assuming it can only refuse a valid
program, never admit a bad one. That is Rust's T: Copy and not Odin's
anything - Odin has no move semantics at all.

The runaway refusal no longer names a depth. It names the chain: a
generic already on the instantiation stack, asked for again at a type
built around the one it had before, is growing and will not stop.
