(** 
    This module describe the type an analyzer must implement in order to be
    used with the parser. 

    The module is divided in three modules :
        - Expression : the finest part of the QSP syntax.
        - Instruction : if/act block, 
        - Location
 *)

(** {1 Generic types used in the module } *)

type pos = Lexing.position * Lexing.position
(** The type pos is used to track the starting and ending position for the
    given location. *)

type ('a, 'b) variable = {
  pos : 'a;
  name : string;
  index : 'b option;
  local : bool;
}
(** Describe a variable, using the name in capitalized text, and an optionnal
    index.

    If missing, the index should be considered as [0].*)

type ('a, 'b) clause = pos * 'a * 'b list
