// A simplified model of C++ types that can be used to check whether they are
// convertible between each other for the purposes of code completion ranking
// without looking at the ASTs. Note that we don't aim to fully mimic the C++
// conversion rules, merely try to have a model that gives useful improvements
// to the code completion ranking.
//
// We define an encoding of AST types as opaque strings, which can be stored in
// the index. Similar types (such as `int` and `long`) are folded together,
// forming equivalence classes with the same encoding.
