  34    --  SCIL (Statically Checkable Intermediate Language) is produced by the
  35    --  CodePeer back end (aka gnat2scil). For some constructs (tagged type
  36    --  declarations, dispatching calls, classwide membership tests), the
  37    --  CodePeer back end needs to locate certain nodes in the tree. To allow
  38    --  CodePeer to do this without introducing unwanted dependencies on the
  39    --  details of the FE's expansion strategies, SCIL_Nodes are generated.
  40 
  41    --  For example, a dispatching call in the Ada source will, if CodePeer mode
  42    --  is enabled, result in the FE's generation of an N_Scil_Dispatching_Call
  43    --  node decorated with semantic attributes which identify the call itself,
  44    --  the primitive operation being called, the tagged type to which the
  45    --  operation belongs, and the controlling tag value of the call. If the FE
  46    --  implements some new expansion strategy for dispatching calls but this
  47    --  interface is preserved, the CodePeer back end should be unaffected.
