// This function is likely to have poor performance in cases where any given
// types are very complex (lots of deeply-nested structures) or if the list
// of types itself is very large. In particular, it will walk the nested type
// structure under the given types several times, especially when given a
// list of types for which unification is not possible, since each permutation
// will be tried to determine that result.
