/**
 * Type contents is how the type checker reasons about kinds.
 * They track what kinds of things are found within a type.  You can
 * think of them as kind of an "anti-kind".  They track the kinds of values
 * and thinks that are contained in types.  Having a larger contents for
 * a type tends to rule that type *out* from various kinds.  For example,
 * a type that contains a borrowed pointer is not sendable.
 *
 * The reason we compute type contents and not kinds is that it is
 * easier for me (nmatsakis) to think about what is contained within
 * a type than to think about what is *not* contained within a type.
