No, that is not the root cause. The root cause is you feed sparse with
bad input. typeof(bar) will give you a type of a function. Sparse just let
quux have the base type of bar function body. That is just so wrong.

As I said before, this is not the right fix. Wish it not get applied.
I agree sparse should not assert on it, but not like this.
You should at least fix it from the typeof(bar) side, instead of try
to linearize
the same function twice.
