// Package types declares the data types and implements
// the algorithms for type-checking of Go packages. Use
// Config.Check to invoke the type checker for a package.
// Alternatively, create a new type checker with NewChecker
// and invoke it incrementally by calling Checker.Files.
//
// Type-checking consists of several interdependent phases:
//
// Name resolution maps each identifier (ast.Ident) in the program to the
// language object (Object) it denotes.
// Use Info.{Defs,Uses,Implicits} for the results of name resolution.
//
// Constant folding computes the exact constant value (constant.Value)
// for every expression (ast.Expr) that is a compile-time constant.
// Use Info.Types[expr].Value for the results of constant folding.
//
// Type inference computes the type (Type) of every expression (ast.Expr)
// and checks for compliance with the language specification.
// Use Info.Types[expr].Type for the results of type inference.
