/**
 * @fileoverview Resolve infrastructure to obtain types and elements.
 *
 * Similar to the compiler making instructions of expressions, the resolver
 * obtains metadata of expressions. As such, for each `compileX` method in
 * the compiler there is one `lookupX` method in the resolver returning the
 * respective IR element, respectively one `resolveX` method returning the
 * respective type of an expression. It is also able to make new elements,
 * like instances of classes given its concrete type arguments.
