-//! The region check is a final pass that runs over the AST after we have
-//! inferred the type constraints but before we have actually finalized
-//! the types. Its purpose is to embed a variety of region constraints.
-//! Inserting these constraints as a separate pass is good because (1) it
-//! localizes the code that has to do with region inference and (2) often
-//! we cannot know what constraints are needed until the basic types have
-//! been inferred.
-//!
-//! ### Interaction with the borrow checker
-//!
-//! In general, the job of the borrowck module (which runs later) is to
-//! check that all soundness criteria are met, given a particular set of
-//! regions. The job of *this* module is to anticipate the needs of the
-//! borrow checker and infer regions that will satisfy its requirements.
-//! It is generally true that the inference doesn't need to be sound,
-//! meaning that if there is a bug and we inferred bad regions, the borrow
-//! checker should catch it. This is not entirely true though; for
-//! example, the borrow checker doesn't check subtyping, and it doesn't
-//! check that region pointers are always live when they are used. It
-//! might be worthwhile to fix this so that borrowck serves as a kind of
-//! verification step -- that would add confidence in the overall
-//! correctness of the compiler, at the cost of duplicating some type
-//! checks and effort.
-//!
-//! ### Inferring the duration of borrows, automatic and otherwise
-//!
-//! Whenever we introduce a borrowed pointer, for example as the result of
-//! a borrow expression `let x = &data`, the lifetime of the pointer `x`
-//! is always specified as a region inference variable. `regionck` has the
-//! job of adding constraints such that this inference variable is as
-//! narrow as possible while still accommodating all uses (that is, every
-//! dereference of the resulting pointer must be within the lifetime).
-//!
-//! #### Reborrows
-//!
-//! Generally speaking, `regionck` does NOT try to ensure that the data
-//! `data` will outlive the pointer `x`. That is the job of borrowck. The
-//! one exception is when "re-borrowing" the contents of another borrowed
-//! pointer. For example, imagine you have a borrowed pointer `b` with
-//! lifetime `L1` and you have an expression `&*b`. The result of this
-//! expression will be another borrowed pointer with lifetime `L2` (which is
-//! an inference variable). The borrow checker is going to enforce the
-//! constraint that `L2 < L1`, because otherwise you are re-borrowing data
-//! for a lifetime larger than the original loan. However, without the
-//! routines in this module, the region inferencer would not know of this
-//! dependency and thus it might infer the lifetime of `L2` to be greater
-//! than `L1` (issue #3148).
-//!
-//! There are a number of troublesome scenarios in the tests
-//! `region-dependent-*.rs`, but here is one example:
-//!
-//!     struct Foo { i: i32 }
-//!     struct Bar { foo: Foo  }
-//!     fn get_i<'a>(x: &'a Bar) -> &'a i32 {
-//!        let foo = &x.foo; // Lifetime L1
-//!        &foo.i            // Lifetime L2
-//!     }
-//!
-//! Note that this comes up either with `&` expressions, `ref`
-//! bindings, and `autorefs`, which are the three ways to introduce
-//! a borrow.
-//!
-//! The key point here is that when you are borrowing a value that
-//! is "guaranteed" by a borrowed pointer, you must link the
-//! lifetime of that borrowed pointer (`L1`, here) to the lifetime of
-//! the borrow itself (`L2`). What do I mean by "guaranteed" by a
-//! borrowed pointer? I mean any data that is reached by first
-//! dereferencing a borrowed pointer and then either traversing
-//! interior offsets or boxes. We say that the guarantor
-//! of such data is the region of the borrowed pointer that was
-//! traversed. This is essentially the same as the ownership
-//! relation, except that a borrowed pointer never owns its
-//! contents.
