-- The Kind types should have for SyntaxTrees.
--
-- A synatx tree kind should take as parameters, an applicative functor for the
-- first argument. This applicative functor allows errors and warnings to be
-- contained to their deferred regions during compilation, so more errors may be
-- reported an once.
--
-- The second argument is the annotation type. Every syntax tree element has an
-- annotation. When initially parsing, this annotation is a list of comments
-- that came before the element and the source position of the element.
--
-- SynTree types are not dependent on the compilation stage. They're the same
-- regardless of the compilation stage.
type SynTree = (Type -> Type) -> Type -> Type

-- A syntax tree which is dependent on the stage in compilation. As compilations
-- progress through stages, types in the syntax tree may change as things become
-- more and more machine readable.
