  /** Tree is the basis for scala's abstract syntax. The nodes are
   *  implemented as case classes, and the parameters which initialize
   *  a given tree are immutable: however Trees have several mutable
   *  fields which are manipulated in the course of typechecking,
   *  including pos, symbol, and tpe.
   *
   *  Newly instantiated trees have tpe set to null (though it
   *  may be set immediately thereafter depending on how it is
   *  constructed.) When a tree is passed to the typer, typically via
   *  `typer.typed(tree)`, under normal circumstances the tpe must be
   *  null or the typer will ignore it. Furthermore, the typer is not
   *  required to return the same tree it was passed.
   *
   *  Trees can be easily traversed with e.g. foreach on the root node;
   *  for a more nuanced traversal, subclass Traverser. Transformations
   *  can be considerably trickier: see the numerous subclasses of
   *  Transformer found around the compiler.
   *
   *  Copying Trees should be done with care depending on whether
   *  it need be done lazily or strictly (see LazyTreeCopier and
   *  StrictTreeCopier) and on whether the contents of the mutable
   *  fields should be copied. The tree copiers will copy the mutable
   *  attributes to the new tree; calling Tree#duplicate will copy
   *  symbol and tpe, but all the positions will be focused.
   *
   *  Trees can be coarsely divided into four mutually exclusive categories:
   *
   *  - TermTrees, representing terms
   *  - TypTrees, representing types.  Note that is `TypTree`, not `TypeTree`.
   *  - SymTrees, which may represent types or terms.
   *  - Other Trees, which have none of those as parents.
   *
   *  SymTrees include important nodes Ident and Select, which are
   *  used as both terms and types; they are distinguishable based on
   *  whether the Name is a TermName or TypeName.  The correct way for
   *  to test for a type or a term (on any Tree) are the isTerm/isType
   *  methods on Tree.
   *
   *  "Others" are mostly syntactic or short-lived constructs. Examples
   *  include CaseDef, which wraps individual match cases: they are
   *  neither terms nor types, nor do they carry a symbol. Another
   *  example is Parens, which is eliminated during parsing.

     *  is called on a TypeTree whose type field is null or NoType,
     *  this is recorded as "wasEmpty = true". That value is used in
     *  ResetAttrsTraverser, which nulls out the type field of TypeTrees
     *  for which wasEmpty is true, leaving the others alone.
     *
     *  resetAllAttrs is used in situations where some speculative
     *  typing of a tree takes place, fails, and the tree needs to be
     *  returned to its former state to try again. So according to me:
     *  using `defineType` instead of `setType` is how you communicate
     *  that the type being set does not depend on any previous state,
     *  and therefore should be abandoned if the current line of type
     *  inquiry doesn't work out.
