 *
 * Utilities for nicely printing [[scala.reflect.api.Trees]] and [[scala.reflect.api.Types]].
 *
 * === Printing Trees ===
 * The method `show` displays the "prettified" representation of reflection artifacts.
 * This representation provides one with the desugared Java representation of Scala code.
 * For example:
 *
 * {{{
 *  scala> import scala.reflect.runtime.universe._
 *  import scala.reflect.runtime.universe._
 *
 *  scala> def tree = reify{ final class C { def x = 2 } }.tree
 *  tree: reflect.runtime.universe.Tree
 *
 *  scala> show(tree)
 *  res0: String =
 *  {
 *    final class C extends AnyRef {
 *      def <init>() = {
 *        super.<init>();
 *        ()
 *      };
 *      def x = 2
 *    };
 *    ()
 *  }
 * }}}
 *
 * The method `showRaw` displays internal structure of a given reflection object
 * as a Scala abstract syntax tree (AST), the representation that the Scala typechecker
 * operates on.
 *
 * Note, that while this representation appears to generate correct trees that one
 * might think would be possible to use in a macro implementation, this is not usually
 * the case. Symbols aren't fully represented (only their names are). Thus, this method
 * is best-suited for use simply inspecting ASTs given some valid Scala code.
 * {{{
 *  scala> showRaw(tree)
 *  res1: String = Block(List(
 *    ClassDef(Modifiers(FINAL), newTypeName("C"), List(), Template(
 *      List(Ident(newTypeName("AnyRef"))),
 *      emptyValDef,
 *      List(
 *        DefDef(Modifiers(), nme.CONSTRUCTOR, List(), List(List()), TypeTree(),
 *          Block(List(
 *            Apply(Select(Super(This(tpnme.EMPTY), tpnme.EMPTY), nme.CONSTRUCTOR), List())),
 *            Literal(Constant(())))),
 *        DefDef(Modifiers(), newTermName("x"), List(), List(), TypeTree(),
 *          Literal(Constant(2))))))),
 *    Literal(Constant(())))
 * }}}
 *
 * The method `showRaw` can also print [[scala.reflect.api.Types]] next to the artifacts
 * being inspected
 * {{{
 *  scala> import scala.tools.reflect.ToolBox // requires scala-compiler.jar
 *  import scala.tools.reflect.ToolBox
 *
 *  scala> import scala.reflect.runtime.{currentMirror => cm}
 *  import scala.reflect.runtime.{currentMirror=>cm}
 *
 *  scala> showRaw(cm.mkToolBox().typeCheck(tree), printTypes = true)
 *  res2: String = Block[1](List(
 *    ClassDef[2](Modifiers(FINAL), newTypeName("C"), List(), Template[3](
 *      List(Ident[4](newTypeName("AnyRef"))),
 *      emptyValDef,
 *      List(
 *        DefDef[2](Modifiers(), nme.CONSTRUCTOR, List(), List(List()), TypeTree[3](),
 *          Block[1](List(
 *            Apply[4](Select[5](Super[6](This[3](newTypeName("C")), tpnme.EMPTY), ...))),
 *            Literal[1](Constant(())))),
 *        DefDef[2](Modifiers(), newTermName("x"), List(), List(), TypeTree[7](),
 *          Literal[8](Constant(2))))))),
 *    Literal[1](Constant(())))
 *  [1] TypeRef(ThisType(scala), scala.Unit, List())
 *  [2] NoType
 *  [3] TypeRef(NoPrefix, newTypeName("C"), List())
 *  [4] TypeRef(ThisType(java.lang), java.lang.Object, List())
 *  [5] MethodType(List(), TypeRef(ThisType(java.lang), java.lang.Object, List()))
 *  [6] SuperType(ThisType(newTypeName("C")), TypeRef(... java.lang.Object ...))
 *  [7] TypeRef(ThisType(scala), scala.Int, List())
 *  [8] ConstantType(Constant(2))
 *  }}}
 *
 *  === Printing Types ===
 *
 * The method `show`
 *  {{{
 *  scala> import scala.reflect.runtime.universe._
 *  import scala.reflect.runtime.universe._
 *
 *  scala> def tpe = typeOf[{ def x: Int; val y: List[Int] }]
 *  tpe: reflect.runtime.universe.Type
 *
 *  scala> show(tpe)
 *  res0: String = scala.AnyRef{def x: Int; val y: scala.List[Int]}
 *  }}}
 *
 * Like the method `showRaw` for [[scala.reflect.api.Trees]], `showRaw`
 * for [[scala.reflect.api.Types]] provides a visualization of the Scala
 * AST operated on by the Scala typechecker.
 * {{{
 *  // showRaw has already been discussed above
 *  scala> showRaw(tpe)
 *  res1: String = RefinedType(
 *    List(TypeRef(ThisType(scala), newTypeName("AnyRef"), List())),
 *    Scope(
 *      newTermName("x"),
 *      newTermName("y")))
 * }}}
 *
 * `printIds` and/or `printKinds` can additionally be supplied as arguments in a call to
 * `showRaw` which additionally shows the unique identifiers of symbols.
 *
 * {{{
 *  scala> showRaw(tpe, printIds = true, printKinds = true)
 *  res2: String = RefinedType(
 *    List(TypeRef(ThisType(scala#2043#PK), newTypeName("AnyRef")#691#TPE, List())),
 *    Scope(
 *      newTermName("x")#2540#METH,
 *      newTermName("y")#2541#GET))
 * }}}
