//! # 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.
