 * Information describing the borrowing of an upvar. This is computed

 *        x = 1;   // upvar x is assigned to
 *        use(y);  // upvar y is read
 *        foo(&z); // upvar z is borrowed immutably
 *     };
 *
 * as if they were "desugared" to something loosely like:
 *
 *     struct Vars<'x,'y,'z> { x: &'x mut int,
 *                             y: &'y const int,
 *                             z: &'z int }
 *     let closure: &'e fn() = {
 *         fn f(env: &Vars) {
 *             *env.x = 1;
 *             use(*env.y);
 *             foo(env.z);
 *         }
 *         let env: &'e mut Vars<'x,'y,'z> = &mut Vars { x: &'x mut x,
 *                                                       y: &'y const y,
 *                                                       z: &'z z };
 *         (env, f)
 *     };
 *
 * This is basically what happens at runtime. The closure is basically
 * an existentially quantified version of the `(env, f)` pair.
 *
 * This data structure indicates the region and mutability of a single
 * one of the `x...z` borrows.
 *
 * It may not be obvious why each borrowed variable gets its own
 * lifetime (in the desugared version of the example, these are indicated
 * by the lifetime parameters `'x`, `'y`, and `'z` in the `Vars` definition).
 * Each such lifetime must encompass the lifetime `'e` of the closure itself,
 * but need not be identical to it. The reason that this makes sense:
 *
 * - Callers are only permitted to invoke the closure, and hence to
 *   use the pointers, within the lifetime `'e`, so clearly `'e` must
 *   be a sublifetime of `'x...'z`.
 * - The closure creator knows which upvars were borrowed by the closure
 *   and thus `x...z` will be reserved for `'x...'z` respectively.
 * - Through mutation, the borrowed upvars can actually escape
 *   the closure, so sometimes it is necessary for them to be larger
 *   than the closure lifetime itself.
