/// The selection process begins by considering all impls, where
/// clauses, and so forth that might resolve an obligation. Sometimes
/// we'll be able to say definitively that (e.g.) an impl does not
/// apply to the obligation: perhaps it is defined for `usize` but the
/// obligation is for `i32`. In that case, we drop the impl out of the
/// list. But the other cases are considered *candidates*.
///
/// For selection to succeed, there must be exactly one matching
/// candidate. If the obligation is fully known, this is guaranteed
/// by coherence. However, if the obligation contains type parameters
/// or variables, there may be multiple such impls.
///
/// It is not a real problem if multiple matching impls exist because
/// of type variables - it just means the obligation isn't sufficiently
/// elaborated. In that case we report an ambiguity, and the caller can
/// try again after more type information has been gathered or report a
/// "type annotations needed" error.
///
/// However, with type parameters, this can be a real problem - type
/// parameters don't unify with regular types, but they *can* unify
/// with variables from blanket impls, and (unless we know its bounds
/// will always be satisfied) picking the blanket impl will be wrong
/// for at least *some* substitutions. To make this concrete, if we have
///
/// ```rust, ignore
/// trait AsDebug { type Out: fmt::Debug; fn debug(self) -> Self::Out; }
/// impl<T: fmt::Debug> AsDebug for T {
///     type Out = T;
///     fn debug(self) -> fmt::Debug { self }
/// }
/// fn foo<T: AsDebug>(t: T) { println!("{:?}", <T as AsDebug>::debug(t)); }
/// ```
///
/// we can't just use the impl to resolve the `<T as AsDebug>` obligation
/// -- a type from another crate (that doesn't implement `fmt::Debug`) could
/// implement `AsDebug`.
///
/// Because where-clauses match the type exactly, multiple clauses can
/// only match if there are unresolved variables, and we can mostly just
/// report this ambiguity in that case. This is still a problem - we can't
/// *do anything* with ambiguities that involve only regions. This is issue
/// #21974.
///
/// If a single where-clause matches and there are no inference
/// variables left, then it definitely matches and we can just select
/// it.
///
/// In fact, we even select the where-clause when the obligation contains
/// inference variables. The can lead to inference making "leaps of logic",
/// for example in this situation:
///
/// ```rust, ignore
/// pub trait Foo<T> { fn foo(&self) -> T; }
/// impl<T> Foo<()> for T { fn foo(&self) { } }
/// impl Foo<bool> for bool { fn foo(&self) -> bool { *self } }
///
/// pub fn foo<T>(t: T) where T: Foo<bool> {
///     println!("{:?}", <T as Foo<_>>::foo(&t));
/// }
/// fn main() { foo(false); }
/// ```
///
/// Here the obligation `<T as Foo<$0>>` can be matched by both the blanket
/// impl and the where-clause. We select the where-clause and unify `$0=bool`,
/// so the program prints "false". However, if the where-clause is omitted,
/// the blanket impl is selected, we unify `$0=()`, and the program prints
/// "()".
///
/// Exactly the same issues apply to projection and object candidates, except
/// that we can have both a projection candidate and a where-clause candidate
/// for the same obligation. In that case either would do (except that
/// different "leaps of logic" would occur if inference variables are
/// present), and we just pick the where-clause. This is, for example,
/// required for associated types to work in default impls, as the bounds
/// are visible both as projection bounds and as where-clauses from the
/// parameter environment.
