class AST { }
An AST or Abstract Syntax Tree is a partially processed representation
of a program. ASTs are return values of the quasi quoting construct,
and are typically used within macros to generate code that is inserted
in the calling location of the macro.
There is no API defined for ASTs yet. Hopefully that will emerge as
part of the work on macros.
