What seems quite broken about it is that you cannot easily tell, up to definitional equality, that something is actually an hcom and extract the composition problem from it. So...
My first thought is to not support this directly until we have some sick tactics that can generalize the goal properly --- it is not enough to generalize the goal...
This seems to be done. Shall we close this ticket? @favonia
I have thought about it some more and I am not certain that the pay-off is big enough to justify this ticket being implemented just now. I will continue to...
So, in order for this to be useful for my purposes, i also need to extend cooltt with a type of "definitional isomorphisms". I have to think a bit about...
