Stress test on type system involving many statically resolved type parameters

[TysonMN]

Succinct description of the issue

I found a case involving a few inline functions/operators and many statically resolved type parameters for which the compiler cannot found a solution.

Steps required to reproduce the problem

Consider this code.

type Matrix<'a> =
  { m11: 'a; m12: 'a; m13: 'a
    m21: 'a; m22: 'a; m23: 'a
    m31: 'a; m32: 'a; m33: 'a } with

  // fails to compile with the next line
  static member inline (/) (m, s) =
  // successfully compiles with the next line
  //static member inline (/) ((m: Matrix<'b>), (s: 'b)) : Matrix<'b> =
    { m11 = m.m11 / s; m12 = m.m12 / s; m13 = m.m13 / s
      m21 = m.m21 / s; m22 = m.m22 / s; m23 = m.m23 / s
      m31 = m.m31 / s; m32 = m.m32 / s; m33 = m.m33 / s }

let inline determinant m =
  m.m11 * m.m22 * m.m33
  + m.m12 * m.m23 * m.m31
  + m.m13 * m.m21 * m.m32
  - m.m31 * m.m22 * m.m13
  - m.m32 * m.m23 * m.m11
  - m.m33 * m.m21 * m.m12

let inline inverse m =
  { m11 = m.m22 * m.m33 - m.m32 * m.m23; m12 = m.m13 * m.m32 - m.m33 * m.m12; m13 = m.m12 * m.m23 - m.m22 * m.m13
    m21 = m.m23 * m.m31 - m.m33 * m.m21; m22 = m.m11 * m.m33 - m.m31 * m.m13; m23 = m.m13 * m.m21 - m.m23 * m.m11
    m31 = m.m21 * m.m32 - m.m31 * m.m22; m32 = m.m12 * m.m31 - m.m32 * m.m11; m33 = m.m11 * m.m22 - m.m21 * m.m12 }
    / (determinant m)

Expected behavior

The code compiles.

Actual behavior

The codes doesn't compile. Here is the build output.

Known workarounds

Add more type annotations...specifically by commenting in the commented out line (and then commenting out the line it replaces).

This does seem like a bug, here is another example that is smaller but has the same issue:

type Test<'a> =
  { x: 'a } with

  static member inline (/) (m, s) = { x = m.x / s; }

let inline determinant m = m.x

let inline inverse m = { x = m.x } / (determinant m)

I'd imagine this is fixed in feature/ext branch, we should check

Smaller repro:

type Matrix<'a> =  { m11: 'a } 

  static member inline (/) (m: Matrix<'b>, s) = { m11 = m.m11 / s  }

let inline inverse (m: Matrix<'a>) = m /  m
