## The problem
The problem I wanted to solve with Stacked Borrows 2 was that the first version of Stacked Borrows only performed very little tracking of shared references.

-My thinking was, if the location is read-only anyway, then it does not harm to grant anyone read access.

However, [as @arielby noted](https://github.com/rust-lang/unsafe-code-guidelines/issues/87), this leads to loss of optimization potential in cases where a function receives a mutable reference (which is supposed to have no aliases) and then creates a shared reference from it:
{% highlight rust %}
fn main() {

Initially, `x` with tag `Tagged(0)` is the only reference, and the stack says that this is the only pointer with any kind of permission.
Next, we cast `x` to a raw pointer.

-The raw retagging of `p` turns `p` into an `Untagged` pointer, and adds a new item granting thusly tagged pointers `SharedReadWrite` permission.

(Really, in the MIR it will say `&mut *x as *mut u32`, so there will be an additional `Unique` permission for the temporary mutable reference, but that makes no difference and I hope [we will change that eventually](https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/pull/2582).)
Then `foo` gets called, which starts with the usual retagging of all reference arguments.
