34   --  As described in Sem_Ch4, the type resolution proceeds in two phases.
35   --  The first phase is a bottom up pass that is achieved during the
36   --  recursive traversal performed by the Analyze procedures. This phase
37   --  determines unambiguous types, and collects sets of possible types
38   --  where the interpretation is potentially ambiguous.
39
40   --  On completing this bottom up pass, which corresponds to a call to
41   --  Analyze on a complete context, the Resolve routine is called which
42   --  performs a top down resolution with recursive calls to itself to
43   --  resolve operands.
44
45   --  Since in practice a lot of semantic analysis has to be postponed until
46   --  types are known (e.g. static folding, setting of suppress flags), the
47   --  Resolve routines also complete the semantic analysis, and call the
48   --  expander for possible expansion of the completely type resolved node.

54   --  Character. In Ada 2005 Wide_Wide_Character is also a candidate. The
