  EXPERIMENTAL

  The Scala Reflection API (located in scala-reflect.jar).

  In Scala 2.10.0, the Scala Reflection API and its implementation have an "experimental" status. This means that the API and the docs are not complete and can be changed in binary- and source-incompatible manner in 2.10.1. This also means that the implementation has some known issues.

  The following types are the backbone of the Scala Reflection API, and serve as a good starting point for information about Scala Reflection:

  - scala.reflect.api.Symbols
  - scala.reflect.api.Types
  - scala.reflect.api.Mirrors
  - scala.reflect.api.Universe

  For more information about Scala Reflection, see the Reflection Guide

  EXPERIMENTAL

  This trait defines the node types used in Scala abstract syntax trees (AST) and operations on them.

  Trees are the basis for Scala's abstract syntax that is used to represent programs. They are also called abstract syntax trees and commonly abbreviated as ASTs.

  In Scala reflection, APIs that produce or use `Tree`s are:

  - Annotations which use trees to represent their arguments, exposed in Annotation.scalaArgs.
  - reify, a special method on scala.reflect.api.Universe that takes an expression and returns an AST which represents the expression.
  - Macros and runtime compilation with toolboxes which both use trees as their program representation medium.

  Trees are immutable, except for three fields pos, symbol, and tpe, which are assigned when a tree is typechecked to attribute it with the information gathered by the typechecker.

  ##### Examples

  The following creates an AST representing a literal 5 in Scala source code:

      Literal(Constant(5))

  The following creates an AST representing `print("Hello World")`:

      Apply(Select(Select(This(TypeName("scala")), TermName("Predef")), TermName("print")), List(Literal(Constant("Hello World"))))

  The following creates an AST from a literal 5, and then uses `showRaw` to print it in a readable format.

      import scala.reflect.runtime.universe.{ reify, showRaw }
      print( showRaw( reify{5}.tree ) )` // prints Literal(Constant(5))

  For more information about `Tree`s, see the Reflection Guide: Symbols, Trees, Types.

# SelectExtractor

###

#### abstract class SelectExtractor extends AnyRef

An extractor class to create and pattern match with syntax `Select(qual, name)`. This AST node corresponds to the following Scala code:

qualifier.selector

Should only be used with `qualifier` nodes which are terms, i.e. which have `isTerm` returning `true`. Otherwise `SelectFromTypeTree` should be used instead.

foo.Bar // represented as Select(Ident(<foo>), <Bar>) Foo#Bar // represented as SelectFromTypeTree(Ident(<Foo>), <Bar>)

     (Since version 2.12.16) Use `formatString.format(value)` instead of `value.formatted(formatString)`, or use the `f""` string interpolator. In Java 15 and later, `formatted` resolves to the new method in String which has reversed parameters.
