Traits
A “folder” is a transformer that can be used to make a copy of
some term – that is, some bit of IR, such as a
Goal – with
certain changes applied. The idea is that it contains methods that
let you swap types/lifetimes for new types/lifetimes; meanwhile,
each bit of IR implements the TypeFoldable trait which, given a
FallibleTypeFolder, will reconstruct itself, invoking the folder’s
methods to transform each of the types/lifetimes embedded within.Applies the given
TypeFolder to a value, producing a folded result
of type Self::Result. The result type is typically the same as
the source type, but in some cases we convert from borrowed
to owned as well (e.g., the folder for &T will fold to a fresh
T; well, actually T::Result).A “folder” is a transformer that can be used to make a copy of

TypeFolder, the
TypeSuperFoldable trait captures the recursive behavior that folds all
the contents of the type.
