For those wanting to try their hand at AST processing, I'm posting my draft
notes reporting work in progress about generating Java from Scala. The whole
mini-project is in fact an excuse to better understand Scala ASTs. Besides,
the main issues to solve (basically, how to recover structured control flow
from jumps) are of interest to Scala-- [1]. You remember Scala-- , right?

Please notice the TODOs in the notes.

*Insights* are welcome.
