///
/// where 'l0...'li and T0...Tj are the lifetime and type parameters
/// in scope on the function that defined the closure, and U0...Uk are
/// type parameters representing the types of its upvars (borrowed, if
/// appropriate).
///
/// So, for example, given this function:
///
///     fn foo<'a, T>(data: &'a mut T) {
///          do(|| data.count += 1)
///     }
///
/// the type of the closure would be something like:
///
///     struct Closure<'a, T, U0> {
///         data: U0
///     }
///
/// Note that the type of the upvar is not specified in the struct.
/// You may wonder how the impl would then be able to use the upvar,
/// if it doesn't know it's type? The answer is that the impl is
/// (conceptually) not fully generic over Closure but rather tied to
/// instances with the expected upvar types:
///
///     impl<'b, 'a, T> FnMut() for Closure<'a, T, &'b mut &'a mut T> {
///         ...
///     }
///
/// You can see that the *impl* fully specified the type of the upvar
/// and thus knows full well that `data` has type `&'b mut &'a mut T`.
/// (Here, I am assuming that `data` is mut-borrowed.)
///
/// Now, the last question you may ask is: Why include the upvar types
/// as extra type parameters? The reason for this design is that the
/// upvar types can reference lifetimes that are internal to the
/// creating function. In my example above, for example, the lifetime
/// `'b` represents the scope of the closure itself; this is some
/// subset of `foo`, probably just the scope of the call to the to
/// `do()`. If we just had the lifetime/type parameters from the
/// enclosing function, we couldn't name this lifetime `'b`. Note that
/// there can also be lifetimes in the types of the upvars themselves,
/// if one of them happens to be a reference to something that the
/// creating fn owns.
///
/// OK, you say, so why not create a more minimal set of parameters
/// that just includes the extra lifetime parameters? The answer is
/// primarily that it would be hard --- we don't know at the time when
/// we create the closure type what the full types of the upvars are,
/// nor do we know which are borrowed and which are not. In this
/// design, we can just supply a fresh type parameter and figure that
/// out later.
///
/// All right, you say, but why include the type parameters from the
/// original function then? The answer is that trans may need them
/// when monomorphizing, and they may not appear in the upvars.  A
/// closure could capture no variables but still make use of some
/// in-scope type parameter with a bound (e.g., if our example above
/// had an extra `U: Default`, and the closure called `U::default()`).
///
/// There is another reason. This design (implicitly) prohibits
/// closures from capturing themselves (except via a trait
/// object). This simplifies closure inference considerably, since it
/// means that when we infer the kind of a closure or its upvars, we
/// don't have to handle cycles where the decisions we make for
/// closure C wind up influencing the decisions we ought to make for
/// closure C (which would then require fixed point iteration to
/// handle). Plus it fixes an ICE. :P

/// In this type, there are two binders (the outer fn and the inner
/// fn). We need to be able to determine, for any given region, which
/// fn type it is bound by, the inner or the outer one. There are
/// various ways you can do this, but a De Bruijn index is one of the
/// more convenient and has some nice properties. The basic idea is to
/// count the number of binders, inside out. Some examples should help
/// clarify what I mean.
///
/// Let's start with the reference type `&'b isize` that is the first
/// argument to the inner function. This region `'b` is assigned a De
/// Bruijn index of 1, meaning "the innermost binder" (in this case, a
/// fn). The region `'a` that appears in the second argument type (`&'a
/// isize`) would then be assigned a De Bruijn index of 2, meaning "the
/// second-innermost binder". (These indices are written on the arrays
/// in the diagram).
///
/// What is interesting is that De Bruijn index attached to a particular
/// variable will vary depending on where it appears. For example,
/// the final type `&'a char` also refers to the region `'a` declared on
/// the outermost fn. But this time, this reference is not nested within
/// any other binders (i.e., it is not an argument to the inner fn, but
/// rather the outer one). Therefore, in this case, it is assigned a
/// De Bruijn index of 1, because the innermost binder in that location
/// is the outer fn.

/// Representation of regions.
///
/// Unlike types, most region variants are "fictitious", not concrete,
/// regions. Among these, `ReStatic`, `ReEmpty` and `ReScope` are the only
/// ones representing concrete regions.
///
/// ## Bound Regions
///
/// These are regions that are stored behind a binder and must be substituted
/// with some concrete region before being used. There are 2 kind of
/// bound regions: early-bound, which are bound in an item's Generics,
/// and are substituted by a Substs,  and late-bound, which are part of
/// higher-ranked types (e.g. `for<'a> fn(&'a ())`) and are substituted by
/// the likes of `liberate_late_bound_regions`. The distinction exists
/// because higher-ranked lifetimes aren't supported in all places. See [1][2].
///
/// Unlike TyParam-s, bound regions are not supposed to exist "in the wild"
/// outside their binder, e.g. in types passed to type inference, and
/// should first be substituted (by skolemized regions, free regions,
/// or region variables).
///
/// ## Skolemized and Free Regions
///
/// One often wants to work with bound regions without knowing their precise
/// identity. For example, when checking a function, the lifetime of a borrow
/// can end up being assigned to some region parameter. In these cases,
/// it must be ensured that bounds on the region can't be accidentally
/// assumed without being checked.
///
/// The process of doing that is called "skolemization". The bound regions
/// are replaced by skolemized markers, which don't satisfy any relation
/// not explicitly provided.
///
/// There are 2 kinds of skolemized regions in rustc: `ReFree` and
/// `ReSkolemized`. When checking an item's body, `ReFree` is supposed
/// to be used. These also support explicit bounds: both the internally-stored
/// *scope*, which the region is assumed to outlive, as well as other
/// relations stored in the `FreeRegionMap`. Note that these relations
/// aren't checked when you `make_subregion` (or `eq_types`), only by
/// `resolve_regions_and_report_errors`.
///
/// When working with higher-ranked types, some region relations aren't
/// yet known, so you can't just call `resolve_regions_and_report_errors`.
/// `ReSkolemized` is designed for this purpose. In these contexts,
/// there's also the risk that some inference variable laying around will
/// get unified with your skolemized region: if you want to check whether
/// `for<'a> Foo<'_>: 'a`, and you substitute your bound region `'a`
/// with a skolemized region `'%a`, the variable `'_` would just be
/// instantiated to the skolemized region `'%a`, which is wrong because
/// the inference variable is supposed to satisfy the relation
/// *for every value of the skolemized region*. To ensure that doesn't
/// happen, you can use `leak_check`. This is more clearly explained
/// by infer/higher_ranked/README.md.
