//! Abstract, executable representations of corresponding items found in Dust
//! source code. The types that implement [AbstractTree] are inteded to be
//! created by an [Evaluator].
//!
//! When adding new lanugage features, first extend the grammar to recognize new
//! syntax nodes. Then add a new AbstractTree type using the existing types as
//! examples.
