This essentially undoes the implementation in 51da51d, which
implicitly did a substitution of the Self type in a protocol's
requirement signature by threading around the replacement PA. This is
brittle because every part of the code needs to take and pass around the
argument. By preemptively substituting, the whole requirement is in the
right form from the time it enters

.The infrastructure here also allows simplifying some code, and some other clean-ups/bug fixes are included.
