+/// While nonloc::CompoundVal covers a few simple use cases,
+/// nonloc::LazyCompoundVal is a more performant and flexible way to represent
+/// an rvalue of record type, so it shows up much more frequently during
+/// analysis. This value is an r-value that represents a snapshot of any
+/// structure "as a whole" at a given moment during the analysis. Such value is
+/// already quite far from being referred to as "concrete", as many fields
+/// inside it would be unknown or symbolic. nonloc::LazyCompoundVal operates by
+/// storing two things:
+///   * a reference to the TypedValueRegion being snapshotted (yes, it is always
+///     typed), and also
+///  * a reference to the whole Store object, obtained from the ProgramState in
+///    which the nonloc::LazyCompoundVal was created.
