 Liveness information is important because it is forwarded to LLVM, which then uses this information to allocate variables into stack slots.
 If two variables are never live at the same time, the compiler can assign both of them the *same* slot, which is great because it makes the stack frame smaller.
-To this end, rustc will translate `StorageLive` to [`llvm.lifetime.start`](http://llvm.org/docs/LangRef.html#llvm-lifetime-start-intrinsic) and `StroageDead` to [`llvm.lifetime.end`](http://llvm.org/docs/LangRef.html#llvm-lifetime-end-intrinsic).

 These are intrinsics that LLVM understands and takes into account when computing the layout of the stack frame.

 Well, maybe.
 Or maybe the rules we picked were just too conservative.

 When performing `StorageLive` on a variable that already is live, forget the value that is currently in the local variable, but otherwise keep it live.
 This is consistent with what we have caught LLVM doing.
 It is hard to get any more definite than this.

 The good news is that with this choice of MIR semantics, miri's test suite passes.
 We can thus be sure (well, insofar as the test suite is representative -- this will hopefully get better over time) that rustc produces code that follows our new rules.
