 However, consider

 Then, if (oclose (D s Int t) {}) = {t}, we'll make the function
 monomorphic in 't', thus

 Conclusion: oclose only returns a type variable as "fixed" if it 
 depends on at least one type variable in the input fixed_tvs.
 
 Remember, it's always sound for oclose to return a smaller set.
+An interesting example is tcfail093, where we get this inferred type:
+    class C a b | a->b
+    dup :: forall h. (Call (IO Int) h) => () -> Int -> h
+This is perhaps a bit silly, because 'h' is fixed by the (IO Int);
+previously GHC rejected this saying 'no instance for Call (IO Int) h'.
+But it's right on the borderline. If there was an extra, otherwise
+uninvolved type variable, like 's' in the type of 'f' above, then
+we must accept the function.  So, for now anyway, we accept 'dup' too.
