 LUB coercion has the following properties:

 1. Order independent: e.g. `LubCoerce(ty0, ty1, ty2, ty3)` equals to
     `LubCoerce(ty1, ty0, ty4, ty3)`.
 2. `LubCoerce(ty0, ty1, ty2, ...)` equals to

+Note the feature No. 3, it uses the word "means" rather than "if and only if".
 That's because currently if `ty0` and `ty1` can be coerced to `ty2` and
 unfortunately `ty2` equals to neither `ty0` nor `ty1`, there are only one
 special situation where we can get `LubCoerce(ty0, ty1) == Some(ty2)`:
 `LubCoerce((FnDef | Closure), (FnDef | Closure)) == Some(FnPtr)` (where Closure
 is non-capturing). You can check it with the pseudo code.
