          This is used to model {{: https://rustc-dev-guide.rust-lang.org/borrow_check/two_phase_borrows.html} two-phase borrows}.
          When evaluating a two-phase mutable borrow we first introduce a reserved
          borrow which behaves like a shared borrow until the moment we actually *use*
          the borrow: at this point, we end all the other shared borrows (and reserved
          borrows - though there shouldn't be any other reserved borrows in practice)
          of this value and replace the reserved borrow with a mutable borrow (as well as
          the shared loan with a mutable loan).
          
          A simple use case of two-phase borrows:
          {[
            let mut v = Vec::new();
            v.push(v.len());
          ]}
          
          Without two-phase borrows, this gets desugared to (something similar to)
          the following MIR:
          {[
            v = Vec::new();
            v1 = &mut v;
            v2 = &v; // We need this borrow, but v has already been mutably borrowed!
            l = Vec::len(move v2); // We need v2 here, and v1 *below*
            Vec::push(move v1, move l);
          ]}

          With two-phase borrows we get this:
          {[
            v = Vec::new();
            v1 = &two-phase mut v; // v1 is a reserved borrow, and v is *shared*
            v2 = &v; // v is shared, so we can (immutably) borrow through v2
            l = Vec::len(move v2); // We use v2 here
            Vec::push(move v1, move l); // v1 gets promoted to a mutable borrow here
          ]}
       *)

  | VSharedLoan of loan_id_set * typed_value
  | VMutLoan of loan_id

(** When giving shared borrows to functions (i.e., inserting shared borrows inside
    abstractions) we need to reborrow the shared values. When doing so, we lookup
    the shared values and apply some special projections to the shared value
    (until we can't go further, i.e., we find symbolic values which may get
    expanded upon reading them later), which don't generate avalues but
    sets of borrow ids and symbolic values.

          Whenever we call a function, we introduce a symbolic value for
          the returned value. We insert projectors of loans over this
          symbolic value in the abstractions introduced by this function
          call: those projectors allow to insert the proper loans in the
          various abstractions whenever symbolic borrows get expanded.

          The borrows of a symbolic value may be spread between different
          abstractions, meaning that *one* projector of loans might receive
          *several* (symbolic) given back values.
          
          This is the case in the following example:
          {[
            fn f<'a> (...) -> (&'a mut u32, &'a mut u32);
            fn g<'b, 'c>(p : (&'b mut u32, &'c mut u32));

            let p = f(...);
            g(move p);

            // Symbolic context after the call to g:
            // abs'a {'a} { [s@0 <: (&'a mut u32, &'a mut u32)] }
            //
            // abs'b {'b} { (s@0 <: (&'b mut u32, &'c mut u32)) }
            // abs'c {'c} { (s@0 <: (&'b mut u32, &'c mut u32)) }
          ]}
          
          Upon evaluating the call to [f], we introduce a symbolic value [s@0]
          and a projector of loans (projector loans from the region 'c).
          This projector will later receive two given back values: one for
          'a and one for 'b.
          
          We accumulate those values in the list of projections (note that
          the span value stores the value which was given back).
          
          We can later end the projector of loans if [s@0] is not referenced
          anywhere in the context below a projector of borrows which intersects

          When giving shared borrows as arguments to function calls, we

          might reborrow values inside. Note that as shared values are immutable,
          we don't really need to remember the structure of the shared values.

          Example:
          ========
          Below, when calling [f], we need to introduce one shared re-borrow per
          *inner* borrow (the borrows for 'b and 'c but not 'a) consumed by the
          function. Those reborrows are introduced by projecting over the shared
          value. For each one of those, we introduce an [abstract_shared_borrow]
          in the abstraction.
          {[
            fn f<'a,'b>(pppx : &'a &'b &'c mut u32);

          Rem.: we introduce {!AProjSharedBorrow} only when we project a shared
          borrow *which is ignored* (i.e., the shared borrow doesn't belong to
          the current abstraction, in which case we still project the shared
          value). The reason is that if the shared borrow belongs to the
          abstraction, then by introducing a shared borrow inside the
          abstraction we make sure the whole value is shared (and thus
          immutable) for as long as the abstraction lives, meaning reborrowing
          subvalues is redundant. However, if the borrow doesn't belong to the
          abstraction, we need to project the shared values because it may
          contain some borrows which *do* belong to the current abstraction.
