//! HIR ty lowering: Lowers type-system entities[^1] from the [HIR][hir] to
//! the [`rustc_middle::ty`] representation.
//!
//! Not to be confused with *AST lowering* which lowers AST constructs to HIR ones
//! or with *THIR* / *MIR* *lowering* / *building* which lowers HIR *bodies*
//! (i.e., “executable code”) to THIR / MIR.
//!
//! Most lowering routines are defined on [`dyn HirTyLowerer`](HirTyLowerer) directly,
//! like the main routine of this module, `lower_ty`.
//!
//! This module used to be called `astconv`.
//!
//! [^1]: This includes types, lifetimes / regions, constants in type positions,
//! trait references and bounds.

        //
        //    In this case, the generic arguments are defined in the type space,
        //    but may be specified either on the type or the variant.

        // 3. Reference to a free function or constant:

        //    arguments. However, in this case, those arguments are declared on
        //    a value, and hence are in the value space.
        //
        // 4. Reference to an associated function or constant:
        //
        //        impl<A> SomeStruct<A> {
        //            fn foo<B>(...) {}
        //        }

        //    Here we can have a path like `a::b::SomeStruct::<A>::foo::<B>`,
        //    in which case generic arguments may appear in two places. The
        //    penultimate segment, `SomeStruct::<A>`, contains generic arguments
        //    in the type space, and the final segment, `foo::<B>` contains
