As in the Clouseau API identifiers (strings) are helt by value
and not by reference, you can't simply modify the parse tree
*in place*. What Grzegorz and I discussed a while ago was a way
to access (and that includes modify) the underlaying structure.

I don't understand the question. As I said earlier, both the parse
tree as well as the symbol table (and assorted analyzers) provide
the means to introspect the code. the AST API would simply be
a convenient high level view on these two. There isn't any more
information that is not already available through the PTree and
the SymbolTable modules.

can you should an example of what you have in mind ?
