> Strength-reducing an interface call to a virtual call for interfaces with
> unique implementors can use receiver type information to narrow the context.
>
> C2 tracks interface types and receiver type information can be used to reveal
> an interface with a unique implementor which can't be derived from the call
> site itself.
>
> Since C2 effectively accumulates a union interface type from multiple subtype checks, iterating over individual components of a type may reveal a candidate for a strength-reduction. The only prerequisite is that a candidate has to be a subtype of the declared interface.
>
> Testing: hs-tier1 - hs-tier5
