//! When specifying SSR rule, you generally want to map one *kind* of thing to
//! the same kind of thing: path to path, expression to expression, type to
//! type.
//!
//! The problem is, while this *kind* is generally obvious to the human, the ide
//! needs to determine it somehow. We do this in a stupid way -- by pasting SSR
//! rule into different contexts and checking what works.
