Note

The issue description has been rewritten by @fmease.

See its API docs: https://doc.rust-lang.org/nightly/nightly-rustc/rustc_hir_analysis/hir_ty_lowering/index.html.

The chapter should explain:

  • Meaning & origin of its current name (HIR ty lowering) and of its previous name (astconv).
  • Purpose, incl. bigger picture
  • "Conventions", "restrictions", "self imposed rules" (e.g., Various HirTyLowerer cleanups rust#125819 (comment)).
  • "Limitations" (cc arbitrary shorthand projection & inherent associated type debates)

    Triage: astconv isn't a thing anymore AFAIK, it's probably now called ast_lowering.

    Tentatively assigning myself but I invite others to contribute too if I take too long (cuz I prolly won't prioritize this).
