There's a question of how we should match array types with a capacity on
ones without. For now we're going to do the simplest possible thing and
just make type-match? more robust. It'll always return false if the types
don't match exactly. For ignoring capacity we'll rely on the checks of
the `address` operation (which don't exist yet). This means we should do
this to pass an address to an array to a function f with signature `f (addr
array int)`:

  var a: (array int 3)
  var b/eax: (addr array int) <- address a
  f b

rather than this:

  var a: (array int 3)
  var b/eax: (addr array int 3) <- address a
  f b

Similar reasoning applies to stream types. Arrays and streams are currently
the only types that can have an optional capacity.
