+    This operation is used to record bounds used in acc data clause in a
+    normalized fashion (zero-based). This works well with the `PointerLikeType`
+    requirement in data clauses - since a `lowerbound` of 0 means looking
+    at data at the zero offset from pointer.
+
+    The operation must have an `upperbound` or `extent` (or both are allowed
+    - but not checked for consistency). When the source language's arrays are
+    not zero-based, the `startIdx` must specify the zero-position index.
+
+    Examples below show copying a slice of 10-element array except first element.
+    Note that the examples use extent in data clause for C++ and upperbound
+    for Fortran (as per 2.7.1). To simplify examples, the constants are used
+    directly in the acc.bounds operands - this is not the syntax of operation.
+
+    C++:
+    ```
+    int array[10];
+    #pragma acc copy(array[1:9])
+    ```
+    =>
+    ```mlir
+    acc.bounds lb(1) ub(9) extent(9) startIdx(0)
+    ```
+
+    Fortran:
+    ```
+    integer :: array(1:10)
+    !$acc copy(array(2:10))
+    ```

+    ```mlir
