For example, `&` is a sigil for references. -soundness <div id="soundness"/> | A technical term in type theory. Roughly, if a type system is sound and a program type-checks, it is type-safe. That is, one can never (in safe rust) force a value into a variable of the wrong type. (see "completeness"). +soundness <div id="soundness"/> | A technical term in type theory.

These are like a file-name/line-number/column tuple on steroids: they carry a start/end point, and also track macro expansions and compiler desugaring. All while being packed into a few bytes (really, it's an index into a table). See the Span datatype for more. substs <div id="substs"/> | The substitutions for a given generic type or item (e.g. the `i32`, `u32` in `HashMap<i32, u32>`). tcx <div id="tcx"/> | The "typing context", main data structure of the compiler.
