 * # 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.

 * error will propagate back up through the mem-categorization

 *
 * In the borrow checker, in contrast, type checking is complete and we

        //! at the first element in the array. The second operation is
        //! an index which adds `y*sizeof(T)` to `p` to obtain the
        //! pointer to `x[y]`. `cat_index` will produce a resulting
        //! cmt containing both this deref and the indexing,
        //! presuming that `base_cmt` is not of fixed-length type.
        //!
        //! In the event that a deref is needed, the "deref count"
        //! is taken from the parameter `derefs`. See the comment
        //! on the def'n of `root_map_key` in borrowck/mod.rs
        //! for more details about deref counts; the summary is

        // You can see that the types of the id and the cmt are in
