rust-analyzer/crates/hir_ty/src/autoderef.rs

//! In certain situations, rust automatically inserts derefs as necessary: for
//! example, field accesses `foo.bar` still work when `foo` is actually a
//! reference to a type with the field `bar`. This is an approximation of the
//! logic in rustc (which lives in librustc_typeck/check/autoderef.rs).
