/**
 * A 'lint' check is a kind of miscellaneous constraint that a user _might_
 * want to enforce, but might reasonably want to permit as well, on a
 * module-by-module basis. They contrast with static constraints enforced by
 * other phases of the compiler, which are generally required to hold in order
 * to compile the program at all.
 *
 * The lint checking is all consolidated into one pass which runs just before
 * translation to LLVM bytecode. Throughout compilation, lint warnings can be
 * added via the `add_lint` method on the Session structure. This requires a
 * span and an id of the node that the lint is being added to. The lint isn't
 * actually emitted at that time because it is unknown what the actual lint
 * level at that location is.
 *
 * To actually emit lint warnings/errors, a separate pass is used just before
 * translation. A context keeps track of the current state of all lint levels.
 * Upon entering a node of the ast which can modify the lint settings, the
 * previous lint state is pushed onto a stack and the ast is then recursed upon.
 * As the ast is traversed, this keeps track of the current lint level for all
 * lint attributes.
 *
 * At each node of the ast which can modify lint attributes, all known lint
 * passes are also applied.  Each lint pass is a visit::vt<()> structure. These
 * visitors are constructed via the lint_*() functions below. There are also
 * some lint checks which operate directly on ast nodes (such as @ast::item),
 * and those are organized as check_item_*(). Each visitor added to the lint
 * context is modified to stop once it reaches a node which could alter the lint
 * levels. This means that everything is looked at once and only once by every
 * lint pass.
 *
 * With this all in place, to add a new lint warning, all you need to do is to
 * either invoke `add_lint` on the session at the appropriate time, or write a
 * lint pass in this module which is just an ast visitor. The context used when
 * traversing the ast has a `span_lint` method which only needs the span of the
 * item that's being warned about.
