/**
 * An object used by instances of [ResolverVisitor] to resolve references within
 * the AST structure to the elements being referenced. The requirements for the
 * element resolver are:
 *
 * 1. Every [SimpleIdentifier] should be resolved to the element to which it
 *    refers. Specifically:
 *    * An identifier within the declaration of that name should resolve to the
 *      element being declared.
 *    * An identifier denoting a prefix should resolve to the element
 *      representing the import that defines the prefix (an [ImportElement]).
 *    * An identifier denoting a variable should resolve to the element
 *      representing the variable (a [VariableElement]).
 *    * An identifier denoting a parameter should resolve to the element
 *      representing the parameter (a [ParameterElement]).
 *    * An identifier denoting a field should resolve to the element
 *      representing the getter or setter being invoked (a
 *      [PropertyAccessorElement]).
 *    * An identifier denoting the name of a method or function being invoked
 *      should resolve to the element representing the method or function (an
 *      [ExecutableElement]).
 *    * An identifier denoting a label should resolve to the element
 *      representing the label (a [LabelElement]).
 *    The identifiers within directives are exceptions to this rule and are
 *    covered below.
 * 2. Every node containing a token representing an operator that can be
 *    overridden ( [BinaryExpression], [PrefixExpression], [PostfixExpression])
 *    should resolve to the element representing the method invoked by that
 *    operator (a [MethodElement]).
 * 3. Every [FunctionExpressionInvocation] should resolve to the element
 *    representing the function being invoked (a [FunctionElement]). This will
 *    be the same element as that to which the name is resolved if the function
 *    has a name, but is provided for those cases where an unnamed function is
 *    being invoked.
 * 4. Every [LibraryDirective] and [PartOfDirective] should resolve to the
 *    element representing the library being specified by the directive (a
 *    [LibraryElement]) unless, in the case of a part-of directive, the
 *    specified library does not exist.
 * 5. Every [ImportDirective] and [ExportDirective] should resolve to the
 *    element representing the library being specified by the directive unless
 *    the specified library does not exist (an [ImportElement] or
 *    [ExportElement]).
 * 6. The identifier representing the prefix in an [ImportDirective] should
 *    resolve to the element representing the prefix (a [PrefixElement]).
 * 7. The identifiers in the hide and show combinators in [ImportDirective]s
 *    and [ExportDirective]s should resolve to the elements that are being
 *    hidden or shown, respectively, unless those names are not defined in the
 *    specified library (or the specified library does not exist).
 * 8. Every [PartDirective] should resolve to the element representing the
 *    compilation unit being specified by the string unless the specified
 *    compilation unit does not exist (a [CompilationUnitElement]).
 *
 * Note that AST nodes that would represent elements that are not defined are
 * not resolved to anything. This includes such things as references to
 * undeclared variables (which is an error) and names in hide and show
 * combinators that are not defined in the imported library (which is not an
 * error).
