 * # Representation of Algebraic Data Types
 *
 * This module determines how to represent enums, structs, and tuples
 * based on their monomorphized types; it is responsible both for
 * choosing a representation and translating basic operations on
 * values of those types.  (Note: exporting the representations for
 * debuggers is handled in debuginfo.rs, not here.)
 *
 * Note that the interface treats everything as a general case of an
 * enum, so structs/tuples/etc. have one pseudo-variant with
 * discriminant 0; i.e., as if they were a univariant enum.
 *
 * Having everything in one place will enable improvements to data
 * structure representation; possibilities include:
 *
 * - User-specified alignment (e.g., cacheline-aligning parts of
 *   concurrently accessed data structures); LLVM can't represent this
 *   directly, so we'd have to insert padding fields in any structure
 *   that might contain one and adjust GEP indices accordingly.  See
 *   issue #4578.
 *
 * - Store nested enums' discriminants in the same word.  Rather, if
 *   some variants start with enums, and those enums representations
 *   have unused alignment padding between discriminant and body, the
 *   outer enum's discriminant can be stored there and those variants
 *   can start at offset 0.  Kind of fancy, and might need work to
 *   make copies of the inner enum type cooperate, but it could help
 *   with `Option` or `Result` wrapped around another enum.
 *
 * - Tagged pointers would be neat, but given that any type can be
 *   used unboxed and any field can have pointers (including mutable)
 *   taken to it, implementing them for Rust seems difficult.
