  34    --  As described in Sem_Ch4, the type resolution proceeds in two phases.
  35    --  The first phase is a bottom up pass that is achieved during the
  36    --  recursive traversal performed by the Analyze procedures. This phase
  37    --  determines unambiguous types, and collects sets of possible types
  38    --  where the interpretation is potentially ambiguous.
  39
  40    --  On completing this bottom up pass, which corresponds to a call to
  41    --  Analyze on a complete context, the Resolve routine is called which
  42    --  performs a top down resolution with recursive calls to itself to
  43    --  resolve operands.
  44
  45    --  Since in practice a lot of semantic analysis has to be postponed until
  46    --  types are known (e.g. static folding, setting of suppress flags), the
  47    --  Resolve routines also complete the semantic analysis, and call the
  48    --  expander for possibly expansion of the completely type resolved node.
