all bodies of a crate in memory at the same time would be very heavy.

You can get a debug representation of the THIR by passing the `-Zunpretty=thir-tree` flag
to `rustc`. Here is how a function with just the statement `let x = 1 + 2;` gets represented in
THIR:
to `rustc`.

To demonstrate, let's use the following example:

```rust
fn main() {
let x = 1 + 2;
}
```

Here is how that gets represented in THIR (as of <!-- date-check --> Aug 2022):
