 * A note on nomenclature of linking: "upcall", "extern" and "native".
 *
 * An "extern" is an LLVM symbol we wind up emitting an undefined external
 * reference to. This means "we don't have the thing in this compilation unit,
 * please make sure you link it in at runtime". This could be a reference to
 * C code found in a C library, or rust code found in a rust crate.
 *
 * A "native" is an extern that references C code. Called with cdecl.
 *
 * An upcall is a native call generated by the compiler (not corresponding to
 * any user-written call in the code) into librustrt, to perform some helper
 * task such as bringing a task to life, allocating memory, etc.

    // The same as above, but for variables accessed via the frame pointer
    // we pass into an iter, for access to the static environment of the

    // [T].  The function doesn't know what T is until runtime, and the
