(Some nil) at an already-(Option T) want reported expect's bare-T
sentence instead of its own: checking the argument against inner's
element type routed a literal nil through expect's "wrap the type in
Option" refusal before Some's own is_nil_lit guard ever ran, and the
advice was nonsense there — the type already is one. The argument is
now checked with no want when it is syntactically nil, which is what a
bare nil resolves against on its own, so it arrives at Some's own
check still dyn and still nil.
no_fallback_slots cannot see the slot unbox_option mints: %dx/%ax are
the pool-ran-dry fallback for a temporary root_plan counted, and a
named local root_plan never counted emits neither mark. The comment
where nil-option.flan and some-nil.flan were added to that list said
otherwise; corrected to say what the check does and does not cover,
and to record that the slot was verified by reading the IR directly
instead — flan.unbox-opt's dyn slot is pushed, flan.as-dyn's is a
plain alloca correctly, since its element is always scalar there.
dyn_offsets falls through Option/Vec/Map with no arm of its own,
correct today only because Check.hidden_dyn refuses a dyn inside any
of them at every storage site first. Commented at the fallthrough,
naming hidden_dyn as the gate and the typed-container view (M2 item 3,
in review now) as the kind of change that could relax it for Vec/Map
without anything here pointing back.
