-// Compiler phase "resolve": resolve all references
-
-// The resolve phase tries to find the artifacts (and elements) for all
-// references in the augmented CSN.  If there are unresolved references, this
-// compiler phase fails with an error containing a vector of corresponding
-// messages (alternatively, we could just store this vector in the CSN).
-
-// References are resolved according to the scoping rules of CDS specification.
-// That means, the first name of a reference path is not only searched in the
-// current environments, but also in the parent environments, with the source
-// as second-last, and the environment for builtins as the last search
-// environment.
-
-// For all type references, we set the property `type._artifact`, the latter is
-// the actual type definition.
-
-// If the referred type definition has a `parameters` property, we use it to
-// transform the `$typeArgs` property (sibling to the `type` property`) to
-// named properties.  See function `resolveTypeExpr` below for details.
-
-// Example 'file.cds' (see './definer.js' for the CSN before "resolve"):
-//   type C { elem: String(4); }
-//
-// The corresponding definition of element "elem" looks as follows:
-//   {
-//     kind: 'element',
-//     name: { id: 'elem', component: 'elem', location: ... }
-//     type: { absolute: 'cds.String', _artifact: {...}, path: ...},
-//     length: { val: 4, location: <of the number literal> },
-//     location: ..., _parent: ...
-//   }
