+    #  The Analyse Expressions phase for expressions is split

+    #      Determines the result type of the expression based
+    #      on the types of its sub-expressions, and inserts
+    #      coercion nodes into the expression tree where needed.
+    #      Marks nodes which will need to have temporary variables
+    #      allocated.
+    #
+    #    Allocate Temps
+    #      Allocates temporary variables where needed, and fills
+    #      in the result_code field of each node.
+    #
+    #  ExprNode provides some convenience routines which
+    #  perform both of the above phases. These should only
+    #  be called from statement nodes, and only when no
+    #  coercion nodes need to be added around the expression
+    #  being analysed. In that case, the above two phases
+    #  should be invoked separately.
+    #
+    #  Framework code in ExprNode provides much of the common
+    #  processing for the various phases. It makes use of the
+    #  'subexprs' class attribute of ExprNodes, which should
+    #  contain a list of the names of attributes which can
+    #  hold sub-nodes or sequences of sub-nodes.
+    #
+    #  The framework makes use of a number of abstract methods.
+    #  Their responsibilities are as follows.
+    #
+    #    Declaration Analysis phase
+    #
+    #      analyse_target_declaration
+    #        Called during the Analyse Declarations phase to analyse
+    #        the LHS of an assignment or argument of a del statement.
+    #        Nodes which cannot be the LHS of an assignment need not
+    #        implement it.
+    #
+    #    Expression Analysis phase
+    #
+    #      analyse_types
+    #        - Call analyse_types on all sub-expressions.
+    #        - Check operand types, and wrap coercion nodes around
+    #          sub-expressions where needed.
+    #        - Set the type of this node.
+    #        - If a temporary variable will be required for the
+    #          result, set the is_temp flag of this node.
+    #
+    #      analyse_target_types
+    #        Called during the Analyse Types phase to analyse
+    #        the LHS of an assignment or argument of a del
+    #        statement. Similar responsibilities to analyse_types.
+    #
+    #      target_code
+    #        Called by the default implementation of allocate_target_temps.
+    #        Should return a C lvalue for assigning to the node. The default
+    #        implementation calls calculate_result_code.
+    #
+    #      check_const
+    #        - Check that this node and its subnodes form a
+    #          legal constant expression. If so, do nothing,
+    #          otherwise call not_const.
+    #
+    #        The default implementation of check_const
+    #        assumes that the expression is not constant.
+    #
+    #      check_const_addr
+    #        - Same as check_const, except check that the
+    #          expression is a C lvalue whose address is
+    #          constant. Otherwise, call addr_not_const.
+    #
+    #        The default implementation of calc_const_addr
+    #        assumes that the expression is not a constant
+    #        lvalue.
+    #
+    #   Code Generation phase
+    #
+    #      generate_evaluation_code
+    #        - Call generate_evaluation_code for sub-expressions.
+    #        - Perform the functions of generate_result_code
+    #          (see below).
+    #        - If result is temporary, call generate_disposal_code
+    #          on all sub-expressions.
+    #
+    #        A default implementation of generate_evaluation_code
+    #        is provided which uses the following abstract methods:
+    #
+    #          generate_result_code
+    #            - Generate any C statements necessary to calculate
+    #              the result of this node from the results of its
+    #              sub-expressions.
+    #
+    #          calculate_result_code
+    #            - Should return a C code fragment evaluating to the
+    #              result. This is only called when the result is not
+    #              a temporary.
+    #
+    #      generate_assignment_code
+    #        Called on the LHS of an assignment.
+    #        - Call generate_evaluation_code for sub-expressions.
+    #        - Generate code to perform the assignment.
+    #        - If the assignment absorbed a reference, call
+    #          generate_post_assignment_code on the RHS,
+    #          otherwise call generate_disposal_code on it.
+    #
+    #      generate_deletion_code
+    #        Called on an argument of a del statement.
+    #        - Call generate_evaluation_code for sub-expressions.
+    #        - Generate code to perform the deletion.
+    #        - Call generate_disposal_code on all sub-expressions.
