KtorZ 91e0e2493a Provide better errors on unknown type in cyclic definitions. Let's consider the following case: ``` type Var = Integer type Vars = List<Var> ``` This incorrectly reports an infinite cycle; due to the inability to properly type-check `Var` which is also a dependent var of `Vars`. Yet the real issue here being that `Integer` is an unknown type. This commit also upgrades miette to 7.2.0, so that we can also display a better error output when the problem is actually a cycle.		2024-08-06 19:24:48 +02:00
