## Injects destructor calls into Nim code as well as
## an optimizer that optimizes copies to moves. This is implemented as an
## AST to AST transformation so that every backend benefits from it.

## Rules for destructor injections:
##
## foo(bar(X(), Y()))
## X and Y get destroyed after bar completes:
##
## foo( (tmpX = X(); tmpY = Y(); tmpBar = bar(tmpX, tmpY);
##       destroy(tmpX); destroy(tmpY);
##       tmpBar))
## destroy(tmpBar)
##
## var x = f()
## body
##
## is the same as:
##
##  var x;
##  try:
##    move(x, f())
##  finally:
##    destroy(x)
##
## But this really just an optimization that tries to avoid to
## introduce too many temporaries, the 'destroy' is caused by
## the 'f()' call. No! That is not true for 'result = f()'!
##
## x = y where y is read only once
## is the same as:  move(x, y)
##
## Actually the more general rule is: The *last* read of ``y``
## can become a move if ``y`` is the result of a construction.
##
## We also need to keep in mind here that the number of reads is
## control flow dependent:
## let x = foo()
## while true:
##   y = x  # only one read, but the 2nd iteration will fail!
## This also affects recursions! Only usages that do not cross
## a loop boundary (scope) and are not used in function calls
## are safe.
##
##
## x = f() is the same as:  move(x, f())
##
## x = y
## is the same as:  copy(x, y)
##
## Reassignment works under this scheme:
## var x = f()
## x = y
##
## is the same as:
##
##  var x;
##  try:
##    move(x, f())
##    copy(x, y)
##  finally:
##    destroy(x)
##
##  result = f()  must not destroy 'result'!
##
## The produced temporaries clutter up the code and might lead to
## inefficiencies. A better strategy is to collect all the temporaries
## in a single object that we put into a single try-finally that
## surrounds the proc body. This means the code stays quite efficient
## when compiled to C. In fact, we do the same for variables, so
## destructors are called when the proc returns, not at scope exit!
## This makes certains idioms easier to support. (Taking the slice
## of a temporary object.)
##
## foo(bar(X(), Y()))
## X and Y get destroyed after bar completes:
##
## var tmp: object
## foo( (move tmp.x, X(); move tmp.y, Y(); tmp.bar = bar(tmpX, tmpY);
##       tmp.bar))
## destroy(tmp.bar)
## destroy(tmp.x); destroy(tmp.y)

----      -------                 ----------------
1.1	      var x: T; stmts	        var x: T; try stmts
                                  finally: `=destroy`(x)
1.2       var x: sink T; stmts    var x: sink T; stmts; ensureEmpty(x)
2         x = f()                 `=sink`(x, f())
3         x = lastReadOf z        `=sink`(x, z); wasMoved(z)
4.1       y = sinkParam           `=sink`(y, sinkParam)
4.2       x = y                   `=`(x, y) # a copy
5.1       f_sink(g())             f_sink(g())
5.2       f_sink(y)               f_sink(copy y); # copy unless we can see it's the last read
5.3       f_sink(move y)          f_sink(y); wasMoved(y) # explicit moves empties 'y'
5.4       f_noSink(g())           var tmp = bitwiseCopy(g()); f(tmp); `=destroy`(tmp)

Remarks: Rule 1.2 is not yet implemented because ``sink`` is currently
  not allowed as a local variable.

``move`` builtin needs to be implemented.
