## Creating an inference context

You create and "enter" an inference context by doing something like
You create an inference context by doing something like
the following:

```rust,ignore
tcx.infer_ctxt().enter(|infcx| {
// Use the inference context `infcx` here.
})
let infcx = tcx.infer_ctxt().build();
// Use the inference context `infcx` here.
```

Within the closure,
`infcx` has the type `InferCtxt<'a, 'tcx>` for some fresh `'a`,
while `'tcx` is the same as outside the inference context.
`infcx` has the type `InferCtxt<'tcx>`, the same `'tcx` lifetime as on
the `tcx` it was built from.

The `tcx.infer_ctxt` method actually returns a builder, which means
there are some kinds of configuration you can do before the `infcx` is
