# This module implements the transformator. It transforms the syntax tree
# to ease the work of the code generators. Does some transformations:
#
# * inlines iterators
# * inlines constants
# * performs constant folding
# * converts "continue" to "break"; disambiguates "break"
# * introduces method dispatchers
# * performs lambda lifting for closure support
# * transforms 'defer' into a 'try finally' statement
