+// Verifies that the types and values of const and static items
+// are safe. The rules enforced by this module are:
+//
+// - For each *mutable* static item, it checks that its **type**:
+//     - doesn't have a destructor
+//     - doesn't own an owned pointer
+//
+// - For each *immutable* static item, it checks that its **value**:
+//       - doesn't own owned, managed pointers
+//       - doesn't contain a struct literal or a call to an enum variant / struct constructor where
+//           - the type of the struct/enum has a dtor
+//
+// Rules Enforced Elsewhere:
+// - It's not possible to take the address of a static item with unsafe interior. This is enforced
+// by borrowck::gather_loans

-// Verifies that the types and values of static items

-//
-// - For each *mutable* static item, it checks that its **type**:
-//     - doesn't have a destructor
-//     - doesn't own an owned pointer
-//
-// - For each *immutable* static item, it checks that its **value**:
-//       - doesn't own owned, managed pointers
-//       - doesn't contain a struct literal or a call to an enum variant / struct constructor where
-//           - the type of the struct/enum has a dtor
-//
-// Rules Enforced Elsewhere:
-// - It's not possible to take the address of a static item with unsafe interior. This is enforced
-// by borrowck::gather_loans
