// Option 3 — `xx <lvalue>` borrows the operand's storage instead of
// heap-copying. The protocol value's `ctx` points directly at the local;
// mutations through the protocol are visible to the original.
//
// The witness is TrackingAllocator: incrementing the parent allocator's
// counter happens through the Allocator protocol value. If `xx tracker`
// heap-copied the Tracker, the parent counter would land in the copy
// and the local would stay at zero. With Option 3 the local sees the
// increments because they ARE the local.
