//! Conversion from AST representation of types to the ty.rs
//! representation.  The main routine here is `ast_ty_to_ty()`: each use
//! is parameterized by an instance of `AstConv` and a `RegionScope`.
//!
//! The parameterization of `ast_ty_to_ty()` is because it behaves
//! somewhat differently during the collect and check phases,
//! particularly with respect to looking up the types of top-level
//! items.  In the collect phase, the crate context is used as the
//! `AstConv` instance; in this phase, the `get_item_type_scheme()`
//! function triggers a recursive call to `type_scheme_of_item()`
//! (note that `ast_ty_to_ty()` will detect recursive types and report
//! an error).  In the check phase, when the FnCtxt is used as the
//! `AstConv`, `get_item_type_scheme()` just looks up the item type in
//! `tcx.tcache` (using `ty::lookup_item_type`).
//!
//! The `RegionScope` trait controls what happens when the user does
//! not specify a region in some location where a region is required
//! (e.g., if the user writes `&Foo` as a type rather than `&'a Foo`).
//! See the `rscope` module for more details.
//!
//! Unlike the `AstConv` trait, the region scope can change as we descend
//! the type.  This is to accommodate the fact that (a) fn types are binding
//! scopes and (b) the default region may change.  To understand case (a),
//! consider something like:
//!
//!   type foo = { x: &a.int, y: |&a.int| }
//!
//! The type of `x` is an error because there is no region `a` in scope.
//! In the type of `y`, however, region `a` is considered a bound region
//! as it does not already appear in scope.
//!
//! Case (b) says that if you have a type:
//!   type foo<'a> = ...;
//!   type bar = fn(&foo, &a.foo)
//! The fully expanded version of type bar is:
//!   type bar = fn(&'foo &, &a.foo<'a>)
//! Note that the self region for the `foo` defaulted to `&` in the first
//! case but `&a` in the second.  Basically, defaults that appear inside
//! an rptr (`&r.T`) use the region `r` that appears in the rptr.
