/// which will be read are those listed in [sources],
/// [CompilerOptions.inputSummaries], and [CompilerOptions.sdkSummary].  If a
/// source file attempts to refer to a file which is not obtainable from these
/// URIs, that will result in an error, even if the file exists on the
/// filesystem.
///
/// When [CompilerOptions.chaseDependencies] is true, this default behavior
/// changes, and any dependency of [sources] that is not listed in
/// [CompilerOptions.inputSummaries] and [CompilerOptions.sdkSummary] is treated
/// as an additional source file for the build unit.
///
/// Any `part` declarations found in [sources] must refer to part files which
/// are also listed in the build unit sources, otherwise an error results.  (It
/// is not permitted to refer to a part file declared in another build unit).
///
/// The return value is a [Program] object with no main method set.
/// TODO(paulberry): would it be better to define a data type in kernel to
/// represent a bundle of all the libraries in a given build unit?
///
/// TODO(paulberry): does additional information need to be output to allow the
/// caller to match up referenced elements to the summary files they were
/// obtained from?
