FWIW, symbol lookup as well as the (re)definition of what
a Symbol (Binding) contains is what we are currently working
on in Synopsis, see http://synopsis.fresco.org/issues/task25 .

In the high level Synopsis AST API I provide a 'Type' hierarchy
with a subclass 'Declared'. All declared types contain a reference
to their respective declaration.

I agree the same should be done in the lower level PTree API.
