              for this slot, then don't specialize for every Type that
              might be passed.
              Since every type x has its own type Type{x}, this would be
              excessive specialization for an Any slot.

              TypeConstructors are problematic because they can be alternate
              representations of any type. Extensionally, TC == TC.body, but
              typeof(TC) != typeof(TC.body). This creates an ambiguity:
              Type{TC} is type-equal to Type{TC.body}, yet a slot
              x::TypeConstructor matches the first but not the second, while
              also matching all other TypeConstructors. This means neither
              Type{TC} nor TypeConstructor is more specific.

              To solve this, we identify "kind slots", which are slots
              for which some definition specifies a kind (e.g. DataType).
              Those tend to be in reflective functions that look at types
              themselves. For these slots we specialize on jl_typeof(T) instead
              of Type{T}, i.e. the kind of the type rather than the specific
              type.

  warn about ambiguous method priorities

  the relative priority of A and B is ambiguous if

  for example, (AbstractArray, AbstractMatrix) and (AbstractMatrix, AbstractArray) are ambiguous.
  however, (AbstractArray, AbstractMatrix, Foo) and (AbstractMatrix, AbstractArray, Bar) are fine
  since Foo and Bar are disjoint, so there would be no confusion over
  which one to call.

  There is also this kind of ambiguity: foo{T,S}(T, S) vs. foo(Any,Any)
  In this case jl_types_equal() is true, but one is jl_type_morespecific
  or jl_type_match_morespecific than the other.
  To check this, jl_types_equal_generic needs to be more sophisticated
  so (T,T) is not equivalent to (Any,Any). (TODO)
