Every slot, item and value in a Rust program has a type. The _type_ of a *value*
defines the interpretation of the memory holding it.
Built-in types and type-constructors are tightly integrated into the language,
in nontrivial ways that are not possible to emulate in user-defined
types. User-defined types have limited capabilities. In addition, every
built-in type or type-constructor name is reserved as a *keyword* in Rust;
they cannot be used as user-defined identifiers in any context.
