/*
Basic algorithm:

Expressions are checked recursively, top down. Expression checker functions
are generally of the form:

  func f(x *operand, e *ast.Expr, ...)

where e is the expression to be checked, and x is the result of the check.
The check performed by f may fail in which case x.mode == invalid, and
related error messages will have been issued by f.

If a hint argument is present, it is the composite literal element type
of an outer composite literal; it is used to type-check composite literal
elements that have no explicit type specification in the source
(e.g.: []T{{...}, {...}}, the hint is the type T in this case).

All expressions are checked via rawExpr, which dispatches according
to expression kind. Upon returning, rawExpr is recording the types and
constant values for all expressions that have an untyped type (those types
may change on the way up in the expression tree). Usually these are constants,
but the results of comparisons or non-constant shifts of untyped constants
may also be untyped, but not constant.

Untyped expressions may eventually become fully typed (i.e., not untyped),
typically when the value is assigned to a variable, or is used otherwise.
The updateExprType method is used to record this final type and update
the recorded types: the type-checked expression tree is again traversed down,
and the new type is propagated as needed. Untyped constant expression values
that become fully typed must now be representable by the full type (constant
sub-expression trees are left alone except for their roots). This mechanism
ensures that a client sees the actual (run-time) type an untyped value would
have. It also permits type-checking of lhs shift operands "as if the shift
were not present": when updateExprType visits an untyped lhs shift operand
and assigns it it's final type, that type must be an integer type, and a
constant lhs must be representable as an integer.

When an expression gets its final type, either on the way out from rawExpr,
on the way down in updateExprType, or at the end of the type checker run,
the type (and constant value, if any) is recorded via Info.Types, if present.
