Bug description

If we compile the following with -principal:

======================================================================
type t = A
type s = A

class f (_ : t) = object end

let _ = new f A (* ok *)

class g = object
inherit f A (* -> this type-based constructor disambiguation is not principal. *)
end

we get a warning 18, but only on the second occurrence of "f A". Is it normal?

Actually, this has nothing to do with the "inherit", since:

class g = f A

is also consider as non-principal.

Indeed, the code for Pcl_apply doesn't generalize the type before calling type_argument.
This shouldn't be hard to do.
