<p><i>libfrontend-elements</i> consists of the following
elements:</p>

<ul class="menu">
  <li><code>context</code></li>
  <li><code>diagnostic</code></li>
  <li><code>token-stream</code></li>
  <li><code>traversal</code></li>
</ul>


<p>Context is essentially a heterogeneous map of names to instances of
arbitrary types. It is primarily used to allow arbitrary annotations of
<em>semantic graph</em> nodes and edges, which are often useful
during code generation.</p>

<p>Diagnostic framework allows to implement consistent and extensible
compiler diagnostic without incurring significant notational burden.</p>

<p><code>TokenStream</code> is a generic interface which is usually
implemented by a <em>lexical analyzer</em>.</p>

<p>Traversal is a significant enhancement of a well-known <em>visitor</em>
idiom which is often used to traverse <em>semantic graphs</em>.</p>
