Note [nonDetCmpType nondeterminism]

GHC/Core/TyCo/Compare.hs:621 compiler

nonDetCmpType is implemented in terms of nonDetCmpTypeX. nonDetCmpTypeX
uses nonDetCmpTc which compares TyCons by their Unique value. Using Uniques for
ordering leads to nondeterminism. We hit the same problem in the TyVarTy case,
comparing type variables is nondeterministic, note the call to nonDetCmpVar in
nonDetCmpTypeX.
See Note [Unique Determinism] for more details.
