+/// An implementation detail: `TyCtxt` is a wrapper type for [GlobalCtxt],
+/// which is the struct that actually holds all the data. `TyCtxt` derefs to
+/// `GlobalCtxt`, and in practice `TyCtxt` is passed around everywhere, and all
+/// operations are done via `TyCtxt`. A `TyCtxt` is obtained for a `GlobalCtxt`
+/// by calling `enter` with a closure `f`. That function creates both the
+/// `TyCtxt`, and an `ImplicitCtxt` around it that is put into TLS. Within `f`:
+/// - The `ImplicitCtxt` is available implicitly via TLS.
+/// - The `TyCtxt` is available explicitly via the `tcx` parameter, and also
+///   implicitly within the `ImplicitCtxt`. Explicit access is preferred when
+///   possible.
