 * Any time a function returns, we have to clean up the barriers.
   - Iterate over all of memory and remove the matching `FnBarrier`. This is where the "stack" becomes a bit of a lie, because we also remove barriers from the middle of a stack.<br>
     This could be optimized by adding an indirection, so we just have to record somewhere that this function call has ended.

 If you want to test your own understanding of "Stacked Borrows", I invite you to go back to [Section 2.2 of "Types as Contracts"]({% post_url 2017-07-17-types-as-contracts %}#22-examples) and look at the three examples here.
