+ *
+ * {{{
+ * val two = mirror.reify(2) // Literal(Constant(2))

+ * val factory = c.reify{ new Queryable[T] }
+ * ...

+ * }}}
+ *
+ * The transformation looks mostly straightforward, but it has its tricky parts:
+ * * Reifier retains symbols and types defined outside the reified tree, however
+ * locally defined entities get erased and replaced with their original trees
+ * * Free variables are detected and wrapped in symbols of the type FreeVar
+ * * Mutable variables that are accessed from a local function are wrapped in refs
