+//! # The MIR Visitor
+//!
+//! ## Overview
+//!
+//! There are two visitors, one for immutable and one for mutable references,
+//! but both are generated by the following macro. The code is written according
+//! to the following conventions:
+//!
+//! - introduce a `visit_foo` and a `super_foo` method for every MIR type
+//! - `visit_foo`, by default, calls `super_foo`
+//! - `super_foo`, by default, destructures the `foo` and calls `visit_foo`
+//!
+//! This allows you as a user to override `visit_foo` for types are
+//! interested in, and invoke (within that method) call
+//! `self.super_foo` to get the default behavior. Just as in an OO
+//! language, you should never call `super` methods ordinarily except
+//! in that circumstance.
+//!
+//! For the most part, we do not destructure things external to the
+//! MIR, e.g., types, spans, etc, but simply visit them and stop. This
+//! avoids duplication with other visitors like `TypeFoldable`.
+//!
+//! ## Updating
+//!
+//! The code is written in a very deliberate style intended to minimize
+//! the chance of things being overlooked. You'll notice that we always
+//! use pattern matching to reference fields and we ensure that all
+//! matches are exhaustive.
+//!
+//! For example, the `super_basic_block_data` method begins like this:
+//!
+//! ```rust
+//! fn super_basic_block_data(&mut self,
+//!                           block: BasicBlock,
+//!                           data: & $($mutability)? BasicBlockData<'tcx>) {
+//!     let BasicBlockData {
+//!         statements,
+//!         terminator,
+//!         is_cleanup: _
+//!     } = *data;
+//!
+//!     for statement in statements {
+//!         self.visit_statement(block, statement);
+//!     }
+//!
+//!     ...
+//! }
+//! ```
+//!
+//! Here we used `let BasicBlockData { <fields> } = *data` deliberately,
+//! rather than writing `data.statements` in the body. This is because if one
+//! adds a new field to `BasicBlockData`, one will be forced to revise this code,
+//! and hence one will (hopefully) invoke the correct visit methods (if any).
+//!
+//! For this to work, ALL MATCHES MUST BE EXHAUSTIVE IN FIELDS AND VARIANTS.
+//! That means you never write `..` to skip over fields, nor do you write `_`
+//! to skip over variants in a `match`.
+//!
+//! The only place that `_` is acceptable is to match a field (or
+//! variant argument) that does not require visiting, as in
+//! `is_cleanup` above.
