     1 AST Node Annotations
     2 ====================
     3 
     4 These annotations should be defined in the revised compiler.ast classes.
     5 
     6 Attribute Users
     7 ---------------
     8 
     9 _attrnames          defines a dictionary mapping local names to sets of
    10                     attribute names found to be used with those names in a
    11                     branch
    12 _attrcontributors   defines nodes contributing to combined attribute usage known
    13                     to a node
    14 _attrcombined       defines a dictionary mapping local names to sets of
    15                     attribute names found to be used with those names for the
    16                     entire lifetime of a particular attribute user
    17 _attrmerged         defines a dictionary mapping local names to sets of
    18                     attribute names merging combined observations with locally
    19                     applicable observations, indicating usage specific to a
    20                     region of the code
    21 _attrtypes          defines types deduced either from combined attribute usage
    22                     details (for users)
    23 _attrspecifictypes  defines specific types from merged attribute usage details
    24                     (for non-user nodes)
    25 _attrdefs           defines definition-related users which consume usage details
    26                     from the node
    27 
    28 Attribute Accessors
    29 -------------------
    30 
    31 _attrusers          defines a dictionary mapping local names to sets of nodes
    32                     defining those names
    33 
    34 Name Accessors
    35 --------------
    36 
    37 _scope              set as "constant", "local", "global" or "builtins"
    38 
    39 Program Units
    40 -------------
    41 
    42 unit                refers to a micropython Class, Function or Module instance
