+Explanation
+===========
+
+Tree: t12717.A.bar("XXX")
+
+I tried to show that
+  String
+conforms to
+  Int
+but the comparison trace ended with `false`:
+          
+  ==> String  <:  Int
+    ==> String  <:  Int (recurring)
+      ==> String  <:  Int (recurring)
+      <== String  <:  Int (recurring) = false
+    <== String  <:  Int (recurring) = false
+  <== String  <:  Int = false
+
+The tests were made under the empty constraint
