-- Equality of types.
--
-- This library uses propositional equality, including the K rule.
--
-- Two types are defined to be equal if their corresponding telescopes
-- are equal. The constructor [_] turns a type into a telescope.
--
-- At first two types (or context morphisms, or…) were defined to be
-- equal if they were equal according to the heterogeneous equality.
-- However, this led to a problem. Consider the old and new
-- definitions of /̂-cong:
--
-- Old:
--
--   /̂-cong : ∀ {Γ₁ Δ₁ σ₁} {ρ̂₁ : Γ₁ ⇨̂ Δ₁}
--              {Γ₂ Δ₂ σ₂} {ρ̂₂ : Γ₂ ⇨̂ Δ₂} →
--            Γ₁ ≡ Γ₂ → Δ₁ ≡ Δ₂ → σ₁ ≅ σ₂ → ρ̂₁ ≅ ρ̂₂ → σ₁ /̂ ρ̂₁ ≅ σ₂ /̂ ρ̂₂

--   /̂-cong P.refl P.refl = P.refl

-- Notice that the old definition required more assumptions than the
