Higher-Order Unification.

Types as well as terms are unified.  The outermost functions assume
the terms to be unified already have the same type.  In resolution,
this is assured because both have type "prop".

  Does the uvar occur in the term t?
  two forms of search, for whether there is a rigid path to the current term.

  This version searches for nonrigid occurrence, returns true if found.
  Since terms may contain variables with same name and different types,
  the occurs check must ignore the types of variables. This avoids
  that ?x::?'a is unified with f(?x::T), which may lead to a cyclic
  substitution when ?'a is instantiated with T later. *)

(* Rigid occur check
Returns Rigid    if it finds a rigid occurrence of the variable,

        NoOcc    otherwise.
  Continues searching for a rigid occurrence even if it finds a nonrigid one.

Condition for detecting non-unifable terms: [ section 5.3 of Huet (1975) ]
   a rigid path to the variable, appearing with no arguments.
Here completeness is sacrificed in order to reduce danger of divergence:
   reject ALL rigid paths to the variable.
Could check for rigid paths to bound variables that are out of scope.
Not necessary because the assignment test looks at variable's ENTIRE rbinder.

Treatment of head(arg1,...,argn):
If head is a variable then no rigid path, switch to nonrigid search
for arg1,...,argn.
If head is an abstraction then possibly no rigid path (head could be a
   constant function) so again use nonrigid search.  Happens only if
   term is not in normal form.

Warning: finds a rigid occurrence of ?f in ?f(t).
  Should NOT be called in this case: there is a flex-flex unifier
