    For example, suppose we have two callables with signatures "f(x: T, y: S) -> T" and
    "f(x: List[Tuple[T, S]]) -> Tuple[T, S]". Both callables use typevars named "T" and
    "S", but we treat them as distinct, unrelated typevars. (E.g. they could both have
    distinct ids.)

    If we pass in both callables into this function, it returns a list containing two
    new callables that are identical in signature, but use the same underlying TypeVarType
    for T and S.

    This is useful if we want to take the output lists and "merge" them into one callable
    in some way -- for example, when unioning together overloads.

    Returns both the new list of callables and a list of all distinct TypeVarType objects used.
