          We remember the shared value which was borrowed as a meta value.
          This is necessary for synthesis: upon translating to "pure" values,
          we can't perform any lookup because we don't have an environment
          anymore. Note that it is ok to keep the shared value and copy
          the shared value this way, because shared values are immutable
          for as long as they are shared (i.e., as long as we can use the
          shared borrow).
       *)

      (** A mutably borrowed value. *)
  | InactivatedMutBorrow of mvalue * (BorrowId.id[@opaque])
      (** An inactivated mut borrow.

          This is used to model [two-phase borrows](https://rustc-dev-guide.rust-lang.org/borrow_check/two_phase_borrows.html).
          When evaluating a two-phase mutable borrow, we first introduce an inactivated
          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 (or inactivated
          borrows - though there shouldn't be any other inactivated borrows if the program
          is well typed) of this value and replace the inactivated borrow with a
          mutable borrow.
          
          A simple use case of two-phase borrows:
          ```
          let mut v = Vec::new();
          v.push(v.len());
          ```
          
          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);
          Vec::push(move v1, move l); // In practice, v1 gets activated only here
          ```
          
          The meta-value is used for the same purposes as with shared borrows,
          at the exception that in case of inactivated borrows it is not
          *necessary* for the synthesis: we keep it only as meta-information.
          To be more precise:
          - when generating the synthesized program, we may need to convert
            shared borrows to pure values
          - we never need to do so for inactivated borrows: such borrows must
            be activated at the moment we use them (meaning we convert a *mutable*
            borrow to a pure value). However, we save meta-data about the assignments,
            which is used to make the code cleaner: when generating this meta-data,
            we may need to convert inactivated borrows to pure values, in which
            situation we convert the meta-value we stored in the inactivated
            borrow.

          different abstractions, meaning that the 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));

          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 meta value stores the value which was given back).

            borrowed value (if it is the case we give back ⊥, otherwise we
            introduce a symbolic value). This is necessary when ending nested
            borrows with the same lifetime: when ending the inner borrow we
            actually give back a value, however when ending the outer borrow
            we need to give back ⊥.
            TODO: actually we don't do that anymore, we check if the borrowed
            avalue contains ended regions (which is cleaner and more robust).
          - we may need to remember the precise values given to the
