// A tree of parsed tokens based on the language grammar.
//
// This is a purely syntactic parse tree without any semantics yet attached. It
// is based on the token stream and the grammar of the language without even
// name lookup.
//
// The tree is designed to make depth-first traversal especially efficient, with
// postorder and reverse postorder (RPO, a topological order) not even requiring
// extra state.
//
// The nodes of the tree follow a flyweight pattern and are handles into the
// tree. The tree itself must be available to query for information about those
// nodes.
//
// Nodes also have a precise one-to-one correspondence to tokens from the parsed
// token stream. Each node can be thought of as the tree-position of a
// particular token from the stream.
//
// The tree is immutable once built, but is designed to support reasonably
// efficient patterns that build a new tree with a specific transformation
// applied.
