+    # This AST is evaluated by looking up the type/title in the scope - causing it to be loaded if it exists, and if not, the given
+    # type name/title is used. It does not search for resource instances, only classes and types. It returns symbolic information
+    # [type, [title, title]]. From this, instances of Puppet::Resource are created and returned. These only have type/title information
+    # filled out. One or an array of resources are returned.
+    # This set of evaluated (empty reference) Resource instances are then passed to the relationship operator. It creates a
+    # Puppet::Parser::Relationship giving it a source and a target that are (empty reference) Resource instances. These are then remembered
+    # until the relationship is evaluated by the compiler (at the end). When evaluation takes place, the (empty reference) Resource instances
+    # are converted to String (!?! WTF) on the simple format "#{type}[#{title}]", and the catalog is told to find a resource, by giving
+    # it this string. If it cannot find the resource it fails, else the before/notify parameter is appended with the target.
+    # The search for the resource begin with (you guessed it) again creating an (empty reference) resource from type and title (WTF?!?!).
+    # The catalog now uses the reference resource to compute a key [r.type, r.title.to_s] and also gets a uniqueness key from the
