         * This is a subtle point: type definitions are not
         * inlined into the current crate, so if the def-id names
         * a nominal type or type alias, then it should be
         * translated to refer to the source crate.
         *
         * However, *type parameters* are cloned along with the function
         * they are attached to.  So we should translate those def-ids
         * to refer to the new, cloned copy of the type parameter.
         * We only see references to free type parameters in the body of
         * an inlined function. In such cases, we need the def-id to
         * be a local id so that the TypeContents code is able to lookup
         * the relevant info in the ty_param_defs table.
         *
         * *Region parameters*, unfortunately, are another kettle of fish.
         * In such cases, def_id's can appear in types to distinguish
         * shadowed bound regions and so forth. It doesn't actually
         * matter so much what we do to these, since regions are erased
         * at trans time, but it's good to keep them consistent just in
         * case. We translate them with `tr_def_id()` which will map
         * the crate numbers back to the original source crate.
         *
         * It'd be really nice to refactor the type repr to not include
         * def-ids so that all these distinctions were unnecessary.
