/* NOTE: matiec supports a strict and a relaxed data type model. Which datatype model to use is chosen
 *       as a command line option.
 * 
 * 
 *       The Strict Datatype Model
 *       =========================
 *       The strict datatype model used by matiec considers any implicitly defined datatype
 *       (e.g. an array datatype defined in the variable declaration itself, instead of inside a TYPE ... END_TYPE
 *       construct) to be different (i.e. not the same datatype, and therefore not compatible) to any other
 *       datatype, including with datatypes declared identically to the implicit datatype.
 *       e.g.
 *         TYPE my_array_t: ARRAY [1..3] OF INT; END_TYPE;
 *         FUNCTION_BLOCK FOO
 *          VAR my_array:  ARRAY [1..3] OF INT; END_VAR
 *         ...
 *         END_FUNCTION_BLOCK
 * 
 *         In the abive code, my_array is NOT considered to te compatible with my_Array_t !!!
 * 
 *       In essence, the currently supported datatype model considers all datatypes to be different to each other,
 *       even though the stored data is the same (Let us call this rule (0))!
 *       There are 2 exceptions to the above rule:
 *        (1) Datatypes that are directly derived from other datatypes.
 *              (this rule is specified in the standard, so we follow it!)
 *        (2) REF_TO datatypes that reference the same datatype
 *              (I dont think the standard says anything about this!)
 *              (This rule should actually be part of the relaxed datatype model, but for now we
 *               will leave it in the strict datatype model) 
 *
 *         TYPE 
 *          my_array_1_t: ARRAY [1..3] OF INT; 
 *          my_array_2_t: ARRAY [1..3] OF INT; 
 *          my_array_3_t: my_array_1_t; 
 *          A_ref_t: REF_TO my_array_1_t;
 *          B_ref_t: REF_TO my_array_1_t;
 *          C_ref_t: A_ref_t;
 *         END_TYPE;
 *                 
 *         In the above code, my_array_1_t is a distinct datatype to my_array_2_t
 *           (this is different to C and C++, where they would be considered the same datatype!)
 *           (following rule (0))
 *         In the above code, my_array_3_t is the same datatype as my_array_1_t
 *           (following rule (1))
 *         In the above code, A_ref_t is the same datatype as B_ref_t
 *           (following rule (2))
 *         In the above code, A_ref_t is the same datatype as C_ref_t
 *           (following rule (1))
 *
 *       Note that rule (0) means that a function/FB with a parameter whose datatype is implicitly defined
 *       can never be passed a value!
 *         FUNCTION_BLOCK FOO
 *          VAR_INPUT my_array:  ARRAY [1..3] OF INT; END_VAR
 *         ...
 *         END_FUNCTION_BLOCK
 *
 *       Any call to FB foo can never pass a value to parameter my_array, as its datatype is distinct
 *       to all other datatypes, and therefore passing any other variable to my_array will result in an
 *       'incompatible datatypes' error!
 *       The above seems natural o me (Mario) in a programming language that is very strongly typed.
 * 
 *       However, if we did not have exception (2), the following would also be invalid:
 *         TYPE my_array_t: ARRAY [1..3] OF INT; END_TYPE;
 *         FUNCTION_BLOCK FOO_t
 *          VAR_INPUT my_array: REF_TO my_array_t; END_VAR
 *         ...
 *         END_FUNCTION_BLOCK
 * 
 *         FUNCTION_BLOCK BAR
 *          VAR
 *            my_array: my_array_t; 
 *            foo: FOO_t;
 *          END_VAR
 *          foo(REF(my_array));  <----- invalid, without rule 2!!
 *         ...
 *         END_FUNCTION_BLOCK
 * 
 *       Rule/exception (2) goes against the datatype model used for all other datatypes.
 *       This rule was adopted as without it, the datatype of the value returned by the REF() 
 *       operator would be considered distinct to all other datatypes, and therefore the
 *       REF() operator would be essentially useless.
 * 
 * 
 *       The Relaxed Datatype Model
 *       ==========================
 *       In the relaxed datatype model, the same rules as the strict datatype model are followed, with the
 *       exception of implicitly defined array datatypes, which are now considered equal if they define
 *       identical datatypes.
 *       This means that in the following example
 *         TYPE 
 *          array_t: ARRAY [1..3] OF INT; 
 *         END_TYPE;
 *         VAR
 *          array_var1: array_t; 
 *          array_var2: ARRAY [1..3] OF INT; 
 *          array_var3: ARRAY [1..3] OF INT; 
 *         END_VAR
 * 
 *       all three variables (array_var1, array_var2, and array_var3) are considered as being of the
 *       same datatype.
 *      
 *       Note that the strict datatype model currently actually uses a relaxed datatype model for 
 *       REF_TO datatypes, so in both the relaxed and strict datatype models matiec currently uses a 
 *       relaxed datatype equivalince for REF_TO datatypes.
