 But before I delve into my latest proposal, I want to briefly discuss a key difference between my previous model and this one:
-"Types as Contracts" was a fully "validity"-based model, while "Stacked Borrows" is (to some extend) "access"-based.

 For every location in memory, we keep track of a stack of borrows (`Uniq(_)` or `Raw`), and potentially "top off" this stack by freezing the location.
 A frozen location is never written to, and no `Uniq` is pushed.

 There is more to a pointer, or a reference (I am using these terms mostly interchangeably), than the address in memory that it points to.
 
 For the purpose of this model, we assume that a value of reference type consists of two parts: An address in memory, and a tag used to store the time when the reference was created.
