To match the GSB's same-type requirement minimization algorithm, prefer to mark "less canonical" rules as redundant, by defining a linear order on rules that first compares the LHS and then the RHS. This replaces the previous heuristic which simply preferred to delete lower-numbered rules.
Also, the GSB's "connected components" algorithm has special behavior with concrete type requirements that we need to simulate. I already implemented the part where if you start with:
You get:
However we need to handle concrete type requirements when collecting these "connected components" as well, so if you start with
You get:
And not:
