The strategy that we use for now to support template instantiation is to check the impl declaration as if it were a generic, but to defer all checking of the impl definition until we see a use in which all template parameters have arguments. At that point, we clone the impl definition and type-check the whole thing, with constant values set on the template parameters corresponding to the given arguments. No caching of template instantiations is performed yet; each time we form a reference to a template instantiation, we instantiate it afresh. We also don't implement the name lookup rule from #949 yet; lookups during template instantiation look only in the actual type and not in the constraint. Depends on #2699
