A global region is one that can be named from anywhere. There is only one, 'static.

An external region is only relevant for closures. In that case, it refers to regions that are free in the closure type -- basically, something bound in the surrounding context.

Consider this example:

fn foo<'a, 'b>(a: &'a u32, b: &'b u32, c: &'static u32) {
  let closure = for<'x> |x: &'x u32| { .. };
                ^^^^^^^ pretend this were legal syntax
                        for declaring a late-bound region in
                        a closure signature
}

Here, the lifetimes 'a and 'b would be external to the closure.

If we are not analyzing a closure, there are no external lifetimes.

A local lifetime is one about which we know the full set of relevant constraints (that is, relationships to other named regions). For a closure, this includes any region bound in the closure's signature. For a fn item, this includes all regions other than global ones.

Continuing with the example from External, if we were analyzing the closure, then 'x would be local (and 'a and 'b are external). If we are analyzing the function item foo, then 'a and 'b are local (and 'x is not in scope).
