  26 --  This child package of Sinfo contains some routines that permit in place
  27 --  alteration of existing tree nodes by changing the value in the Nkind
  28 --  field. Since Nkind functions logically in a manner similar to a variant
  29 --  record discriminant part, such alterations cannot be permitted in a
  30 --  general manner, but in some specific cases, the fields of related nodes
  31 --  have been deliberately laid out in a manner that permits such alteration.

  35    procedure Change_Identifier_To_Defining_Identifier (N : in out Node_Id);
  36    --  N must refer to a node of type N_Identifier. This node is modified to
  37    --  be of type N_Defining_Identifier. The scanner always returns identifiers
  38    --  as N_Identifier. The parser then uses this routine to change the node
  39    --  to be a defining identifier where the context demands it. This routine
  40    --  also allocates the necessary extension node. Note that this procedure
  41    --  may (but is not required to) change the Id of the node in question.
  42
  43    procedure Change_Character_Literal_To_Defining_Character_Literal
  44      (N : in out Node_Id);

  55    procedure Change_Operator_Symbol_To_String_Literal (N : Node_Id);
  56    --  The scanner returns any string that looks like an operator symbol as
  57    --  a N_Operator_Symbol node. The parser then uses this procedure to change
  58    --  the node to a normal N_String_Literal node if the context is not one
  59    --  in which an operator symbol is required. There are some cases where the
  60    --  parser cannot tell, in which case this transformation happens later on.
  61
  62    procedure Change_Selected_Component_To_Expanded_Name (N : Node_Id);
  63    --  The parser always generates Selected_Component nodes. The semantics
  64    --  modifies these to Expanded_Name nodes where appropriate. Note that
  65    --  on return the Chars field is set to a copy of the contents of the
  66    --  Chars field of the Selector_Name field.
