See [the chapter on placeholder and universes](../borrow_check/region_inference.html#placeholder) for more details. soundness | soundness is a technical term in type theory. Roughly, if a type system is sound, then if a program type-checks, it is type-safe; i.e. I can never (in safe rust) force a value into a variable of the wrong type. (see "completeness"). span | a location in the user's source code, used for error reporting primarily. These are like a file-name/line-number/column tuple on steroids: they carry a start/end point, and also track macro expansions and compiler desugaring. All while being packed into a few bytes (really, it's an index into a table). See the Span datatype for more. substs | the substitutions for a given generic type or item (e.g. the `i32`, `u32` in `HashMap`)
