/**
 * A declared element of a program.
 *
 * The declared elements of a program include classes, methods,
 * fields, variables, parameters, etc.
 *
 * Sometimes it makes sense to construct "synthetic" elements that
 * have not been declared anywhere in a program, for example, there
 * are elements corresponding to "dynamic", "null", and unresolved
 * references.
 *
 * Elements are distinct from types ([DartType]). For example, there
 * is one declaration of the class List, but several related types,
 * for example, List, List<int>, List<String>, etc.
 *
 * Elements are distinct from AST nodes ([Node]), and there normally is a
 * one-to-one correspondence between an AST node and an element
 * (except that not all kinds of AST nodes have an associated
 * element).
 *
 * AST nodes represent precisely what is written in source code, for
 * example, when a user writes "class MyClass {}", the corresponding
 * AST node does not have a superclass. On the other hand, the
 * corresponding element (once fully resolved) will record the
 * information about the implicit superclass as defined by the
 * language semantics.
 *
 * Generally, the contents of a method are represented as AST nodes
 * without additional elements, but things like local functions, local
 * variables, and labels have a corresponding element.
 *
 * We generally say that scanning, parsing, resolution, and type
 * checking comprise the "front-end" of the compiler. The "back-end"
 * includes things like SSA graph construction, optimizations, and
 * code generation.
 *
 * The front-end data structures are designed to be reusable by
 * several back-ends.  For example, we may want to support emitting
 * minified Dart and JavaScript code in one go.  Also, we're planning
 * on adding an incremental compilation server that should be able to
 * reuse elements between compilations.  So to keep things simple, it
 * is best if the backends avoid setting state directly in elements.
 * It is better to keep such state in a table on the side.
