Given a rustc::middle::resolve::CrateMap, a syntax::ast_map::map, and a syntax::ast::Ty, how can I determine what "real" type the given ast::Ty refers to?
Typechecking uses the functions in `astconv.rs` (particularly `ast_ty_to_ty`) to transform an AST type into a type used for typechecking. I believe it writes the results into the type context, so you can retrieve it with `node_id_to_type` or similar.
For rustdoc purposes you may not need the same notion of a type as typechecking uses. In that case you can just look up the def ID that resolve resolved each `ty_path` to; it should always resolve to a struct, enum, or typedef. Be warned, resolve will not strip out typedefs; that's the job of `astconv`.
