The lowering is triggered by calling the [`mir_built`] query.

There is an intermediate representation

between [HIR] and [MIR] called the [THIR] that is only used during the lowering.
|

[THIR] means "Typed HIR" and used to be called "HAIR (High-level Abstract IR)".
|

The [THIR]'s most important feature is that the various adjustments (which happen

without explicit syntax) like coercions, autoderef, autoref and overloaded method

calls have become explicit casts, deref operations, reference expressions or

- High-level IR (HIR): This is a sort of desugared AST. It's still close
|

to what the user wrote syntactically, but it includes some implicit things
|

such as some elided lifetimes, etc. This IR is amenable to type checking.

- Typed HIR (THIR): This is an intermediate between HIR and MIR. It is like the HIR
|

but it is fully typed and a bit more desugared (e.g. method calls and implicit

dereferences are made fully explicit). Moreover, it is easier to lower to MIR

from THIR than from HIR.
