/*!
 * Generalized type folding mechanism. The setup is a bit convoluted
 * but allows for convenient usage. Let T be an instance of some
 * "foldable type" (one which implements `TypeFoldable`) and F be an
 * instance of a "folder" (a type which implements `TypeFolder`). Then
 * the setup is intended to be:
 *
 *     T.fold_with(F) --calls--> F.fold_T(T) --calls--> super_fold_T(F, T)
 *
 * This way, when you define a new folder F, you can override
 * `fold_T()` to customize the behavior, and invoke `super_fold_T()`
 * to get the original behavior. Meanwhile, to actually fold
 * something, you can just write `T.fold_with(F)`, which is
 * convenient. (Note that `fold_with` will also transparently handle
 * things like a `Vec<T>` where T is foldable and so on.)
 *
 * In this ideal setup, the only function that actually *does*
 * anything is `super_fold_T`, which traverses the type `T`. Moreover,
 * `super_fold_T` should only ever call `T.fold_with()`.
 *
 * In some cases, we follow a degenerate pattern where we do not have
 * a `fold_T` nor `super_fold_T` method. Instead, `T.fold_with`
 * traverses the structure directly. This is suboptimal because the
 * behavior cannot be overriden, but it's much less work to implement.
 * If you ever *do* need an override that doesn't exist, it's not hard
 * to convert the degenerate pattern into the proper thing.
