1//! **Canonicalization** is the key to constructing a query in the
2//! middle of type inference. Ordinarily, it is not possible to store
3//! types from type inference in query keys, because they contain
4//! references to inference variables whose lifetimes are too short
5//! and so forth. Canonicalizing a value T1 using `canonicalize_query`
6//! produces two things:
7//!
8//! - a value T2 where each unbound inference variable has been
9//! replaced with a **canonical variable**;
10//! - a map M (of type `CanonicalVarValues`) from those canonical
11//! variables back to the original.
12//!
13//! We can then do queries using T2. These will give back constraints
14//! on the canonical variables which can be translated, using the map
15//! M, into constraints in our source context. This process of
16//! translating the results back is done by the
17//! `instantiate_query_result` method.
18//!
19//! For a more detailed look at what is happening here, check
20//! out the [chapter in the rustc dev guide][c].
