Summary:
Currently detection and propagation of consequences of newly added
equality constraints is implemented using some operations that
traverse the entire representation of the equality relation. This
implementation strategy makes it relatively easy and robust to ensure
that the consequences of constraints are treated in a sound and
complete way. It does have the drawback that adding a constraint
involves work that is proportional (nonlinearly even) to the number of
all constraints. This can become a performance bottleneck.
This diff reimplements the core operations using an additional data
structure that essentially tracks the "super-term" relation between
terms, which can be used to look up the existing constraints that
might be involved in deriving new consequences when adding
equalities. This means that adding new equalities no longer takes time
proportional to the size of the entire equality context
representation, but only to the number of existing constraints that
might interact with the new constraint. Also, rewriting terms
into canonical form no longer takes time proportional to size of the
whole context, but only performs table lookups on the subterms of the
term to canonize.
