+///   approximation of runtime size, but instead of type-complexity size if
+///   someone were to visit each element of the type individually. For example
+///   `u32` has size 1 and `(list u32)` has size 2 (roughly). Used to prevent
+///   massive trees of types.
+///
+/// * Whether or not a type contains a "borrow" transitively inside of it. For
+///   example `(borrow $t)` and `(list (borrow $t))` both contain borrows, but
+///   `(list u32)` does not. Used to validate that component function results do
+///   not contain borrows.

+/// Currently this is represented as a compact 32-bit integer to ensure that

+/// type size allowed in wasmparser is 1M at this time which is 20 bits of

+        //
+        // This also leverages the `open_instance_type` method below

+        //
+        // 1. Pretend that the imports of B are given as values to the
+        //    imports of A. If A didn't import anything, for example,
+        //    that's great and the subtyping definitely passes there.
+        //    This operation produces a mapping of all the resources of
+        //    A's imports to resources in B's imports.
+        //

+        //    now instead refer to B's. Note, though that A's exports
+        //    still refer to its own defined resources.
+        //

+        //    first step is used again, but this time on the exports
+        //    in the reverse direction. This performs a similar
+        //    operation, though, by creating a mapping from B's
+        //    defined resources to A's defined resources. The map
+        //    itself is discarded as it's not needed.
+        //
+        // The order that everything passed here is intentional, but
+        // also subtle. I personally think of it as
+        // `open_instance_type` takes a list of things to satisfy a
+        // signature and produces a mapping of resources in the
+        // signature to those provided in the list of things. The
+        // order of operations then goes:
+        //
+        // * Someone thinks they have a component of type B, but they
+        //   actually have a component of type A (e.g. due to this
+        //   subtype check passing).
+        // * This person provides the imports of B and that must be
+        //   sufficient to satisfy the imports of A. This is the first
+        //   `open_instance_type` check.
+        // * Now though the resources provided by B are substituted
+        //   into A's exports since that's what was provided.
+        // * A's exports are then handed back to the original person,
+        //   and these exports must satisfy the signature required by B
+        //   since that's what they're expecting.
+        // * This is the second `open_instance_type` which, to get
+        //   resource types to line up, will map from A's defined
+        //   resources to B's defined resources.
+        //
