/** \brief Given a term <tt>a : a_type</tt>, and a metavariable \c m, creates a constraint
    that considers coercions from a_type to the type assigned to \c m.

    This function is used when the types \c a_type and/or the type of \c m
    are not known at preprocessing time, and a choice function is used to
    enumerate coercion functions \c f. By "not known", we mean the type is a
    metavariable application.
