 Type inference is implemented in Julia by `typeinf() in inference.jl <https://github.com/JuliaLang/julia/blob/master/base/inference.jl>`_.
 Type inference is the process of examining a Julia function and determining bounds for the types of each of its variables,
 as well as bounds on the type of the return value from the function.

+This enables many future optimizations, such as unboxing of known immutable values,
 and compile-time hoisting of various run-time operations such as computing field offsets and function pointers.
 Type inference may also include other steps such as constant propagation and inlining.
