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: int }
    struct Bar { foo: Foo  }
    fn get_i(x: &'a Bar) -> &'a int {
       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 owned pointers.  We say that the guarantor
of such data it 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.

### Inferring borrow kinds for upvars

Whenever there is a closure expression, we need to determine how each
upvar is used. We do this by initially assigning each upvar an
immutable "borrow kind" (see `ty::BorrowKind` for details) and then
"escalating" the kind as needed. The borrow kind proceeds according to
the following lattice:

    ty::ImmBorrow -> ty::UniqueImmBorrow -> ty::MutBorrow

So, for example, if we see an assignment `x = 5` to an upvar `x`, we
will promote its borrow kind to mutable borrow. If we see an `&mut x`
we'll do the same. Naturally, this applies not just to the upvar, but
to everything owned by `x`, so the result is the same for something
like `x.f = 5` and so on (presuming `x` is not a borrowed pointer to a
struct). These adjustments are performed in
`adjust_upvar_borrow_kind()` (you can trace backwards through the code
from there).

The fact that we are inferring borrow kinds as we go results in a
semi-hacky interaction with mem-categorization. In particular,
mem-categorization will query the current borrow kind as it
categorizes, and we'll return the *current* value, but this may get
adjusted later. Therefore, in this module, we generally ignore the
borrow kind (and derived mutabilities) that are returned from
mem-categorization, since they may be inaccurate. (Another option
would be to use a unification scheme, where instead of returning a
concrete borrow kind like `ty::ImmBorrow`, we return a
`ty::InferBorrow(upvar_id)` or something like that, but this would
then mean that all later passes would have to check for these figments
and report an error, and it just seems like more mess in the end.)
