11 // Notice that during parsing we create objects of type Literal, but the
12 // types are not loaded (thats why the Resolve method has to assign the
13 // type at that point).
15 // Literals differ from the constants in that we know we encountered them
16 // as a literal in the source code (and some extra rules apply there) and
17 // they have to be resolved (since during parsing we have not loaded the
18 // types yet) while constants are created only after types have been loaded
19 // and are fully resolved when born.
