Description
This fixes #586 and #1204 (included as tests). The occurs because forward data declarations are tagged as
linear
, I have changed it totop
. I don't know why they were tagged aslinear
in the first place, so there is a chesterton's fence situation here, but if #586 is a bug then they probably should not be. If they were marked linear to distinguish forward declarations from empty types, that is now handled by #3480.Previously, the following code would error with "Trying to use linear name Main.X in non-linear context." It now checks.
