## This module implements lifting for type-bound operations
## (``=sink``, ``=``, ``=destroy``, ``=deepCopy``).

# included from sempass2.nim

# Todo:
# - specialize destructors for constant arrays of strings
#   (they don't require any)
# - use openArray instead of array to avoid over-specializations
# - make 'owned' mean 'sink' in parameters
