(** ** Access modes *)

(** The [access_mode] function describes how a l-value of the given
type must be accessed:
- [By_value ch]: access by value, i.e. by loading from the address
  of the l-value using the memory chunk [ch];
- [By_reference]: access by reference, i.e. by just returning
  the address of the l-value (used for arrays and functions);
- [By_copy]: access is by reference, assignment is by copy
  (used for [struct] and [union] types)
- [By_nothing]: no access is possible, e.g. for the [void] type.
