Adjust a declaration to avoid that a type variable shadows a type
A proposed generalization of the lint `avoid_types_as_parameter_names`
will lint situations where a type variable shadows a type. There is
one exception, e.g.,
class C<X> {
static void foo<X>() {} // OK
}
The exception is that a static method can declare type parameters
that shadow type parameters declared by the enclosing declaration.
The enhanced lint gives rise to a couple of diagnostic messages
on SDK code. In particular, `disjunctive.dart` uses `Expression`
as the name of a type variable in a context where another
declaration named `Expression` is in scope. (This is a plain case,
the exception isn't relevant here.)
This CL renames that type variable such that the shadowing is
avoided. I've chosen to rename it from `Expression` to `TExpression`.
It may be more idiomatic Dart to use `E`, but I wanted to avoid eliminating the information which is encoded as the word
'Expression' (which isn't available otherwise because there is no
bound).

Dart is:
Approachable: Develop with a strongly typed programming language that is consistent, concise, and offers modern language features like null safety and patterns.
Portable: Compile to ARM, x64, or RISC-V machine code for mobile, desktop, and backend. Compile to JavaScript or WebAssembly for the web.
Productive: Make changes iteratively: use hot reload to see the result instantly in your running app. Diagnose app issues using DevTools.
Dart's flexible compiler technology lets you run Dart code in different ways, depending on your target platform and goals:
Dart Native: For programs targeting devices (mobile, desktop, server, and more), Dart Native includes both a Dart VM with JIT (just-in-time) compilation and an AOT (ahead-of-time) compiler for producing machine code.
Dart Web: For programs targeting the web, Dart Web includes both a development time compiler (dartdevc) and a production time compiler (dart2js).
Dart is free and open source.
