Polymorphic Variable Name Reuse Causes Crash

Description

It appears that polymorphic variables are being confused. The following code works however if you replace occurrences of the name "Tx" with "T" the compiler segfaults.

trait satifies(dtype Tx) {
  void assertion(Tx &);
};

forall(dtype T)
struct Wrapper {};

forall(dtype T | satifies(Wrapper(T)))
T & function(T & value) {
    return value;
}

It appears somehow T=Wrapper(T) is causing a problem. Even if that actual equation is not used, it might be the mangling from one is applied to the other or something else. It does appear to lead to a segmentation fault during validation due to stack overflow.

Dropping it down to minor because if you use different variable names it should all be fine.

I may have found an even simpler example, just replace Wrapper(T) with T *. Once again this is the working code, rename Tx to T to get the crash.

trait satisfies(dtype Tx) {
    void assertion(Tx);
};

forall(dtype T | satisfies(T *))
void something(T * value) {
    assertion(value);
}
