Can't retrieve a toplevel table from a local struct field and index it? #1333

Description

@axch

This is a minimization of the problem @emilyfertig encountered in #1332. The chain of interactions is to make a table, make a struct containing that table, then access that field of the struct and try to index the table. Oddly, if we do all of these steps at the top level, it works fine:

struct Foo(n|Ix) = foo : (n=>Float)

table : (Fin 2=>Float) = [1., 2.]

x = (Foo table)

x.foo[0@(Fin 2)]
> 1.

But if we make the struct construction local, we get a compiler error:

:p
  y = (Foo table)
  y.foo[0@(Fin 2)]
> Compiler bug!

> Unexpected table: table
> CallStack (from HasCallStack):
>   error, called at src/lib/Simplify.hs:570:22 in dex-0.1.0.0-Gi9B8TxRbicLQnuTnmjlXJ:Simplify

That line number is in simplifyTabApp, which can't handle the table being a Var that's not wrapped in SimpInCore, which is what, in this example, it is getting.

@dougalm help?
