 * # Categorization
 *
 * The job of the categorization module is to analyze an expression to
 * determine what kind of memory is used in evaluating it (for example,
 * where dereferences occur and what kind of pointer is dereferenced;
 * whether the memory is mutable; etc)
 *
 * Categorization effectively transforms all of our expressions into
 * expressions of the following forms (the actual enum has many more
 * possibilities, naturally, but they are all variants of these base
 * forms):
 *
 *     E = rvalue    // some computed rvalue
 *       | x         // address of a local variable or argument
 *       | *E        // deref of a ptr
 *       | E.comp    // access to an interior component
 *
 * Imagine a routine ToAddr(Expr) that evaluates an expression and returns an
 * address where the result is to be found.  If Expr is an lvalue, then this
 * is the address of the lvalue.  If Expr is an rvalue, this is the address of
 * some temporary spot in memory where the result is stored.
 *
 * Now, cat_expr() classifies the expression Expr and the address A=ToAddr(Expr)
 * as follows:
 *
 * - cat: what kind of expression was this?  This is a subset of the
 *   full expression forms which only includes those that we care about
 *   for the purpose of the analysis.
 * - mutbl: mutability of the address A
 * - ty: the type of data found at the address A
 *
 * The resulting categorization tree differs somewhat from the expressions
 * themselves.  For example, auto-derefs are explicit.  Also, an index a[b] is
 * decomposed into two operations: a dereference to reach the array data and
 * then an index to jump forward to the relevant item.
 *
 * ## By-reference upvars
 *
 * One part of the translation which may be non-obvious is that we translate
 * closure upvars into the dereference of a borrowed pointer; this more closely
 * resembles the runtime translation. So, for example, if we had:
 *
 *     let mut x = 3;
 *     let y = 5;
 *     let inc = || x += y;
 *
 * Then when we categorize `x` (*within* the closure) we would yield a
 * result of `*x'`, effectively, where `x'` is a `cat_upvar` reference
 * tied to `x`. The type of `x'` will be a borrowed pointer.

 *
 * This interface is needed because mem-categorization is used from
 * two places: `regionck` and `borrowck`. `regionck` executes before
 * type inference is complete, and hence derives types and so on from
 * intermediate tables.  This also implies that type errors can occur,
 * and hence `node_ty()` and friends return a `Result` type -- any
 * error will propagate back up through the mem-categorization
 * routines.
 *
 * In the borrow checker, in contrast, type checking is complete and we
 * know that no errors have occurred, so we simply consult the tcx and we
 * can be sure that only `Ok` results will occur.
