 *           string_type_declaration_c is not used to store
 *           simple string type declarations that do not include
 *           size limits.
 *           For e.g.:
 *             str1_type: STRING := "hello!"
 *           will be stored in a simple_type_declaration_c
 *           instead of a string_type_declaration_c.
 *           The following:
 *             str2_type: STRING [64] := "hello!"
 *           will be stored in a sring_type_declaration_c
 *
 *           Read on for why this is done...
 * End Summary)
 *
 * According to the spec, the valid construct
 * TYPE new_str_type : STRING := "hello!"; END_TYPE
 * has two possible routes to type_declaration...
 *
 * Route 1:
 * type_declaration: single_element_type_declaration
 * single_element_type_declaration: simple_type_declaration
 * simple_type_declaration: identifier ':' simple_spec_init
 * simple_spec_init: simple_specification ASSIGN constant
 * (shift:  identifier <- 'new_str_type')
 * simple_specification: elementary_type_name
 * elementary_type_name: STRING
 * (shift: elementary_type_name <- STRING)
 * (reduce: simple_specification <- elementary_type_name)
 * (shift: constant <- "hello!")
 * (reduce: simple_spec_init: simple_specification ASSIGN constant)
 * (reduce: ...)
 *
 *
 * Route 2:
 * type_declaration: string_type_declaration
 * string_type_declaration: identifier ':' elementary_string_type_name string_type_declaration_size string_type_declaration_init
 * (shift:  identifier <- 'new_str_type')
 * elementary_string_type_name: STRING
 * (shift: elementary_string_type_name <- STRING)
 * (shift: string_type_declaration_size <-  empty )
 * string_type_declaration_init: ASSIGN character_string
 * (shift: character_string <- "hello!")
 * (reduce: string_type_declaration_init <- ASSIGN character_string)
 * (reduce: string_type_declaration <- identifier ':' elementary_string_type_name string_type_declaration_size string_type_declaration_init )
 * (reduce: type_declaration <- string_type_declaration)
 *
 *
 * At first glance it seems that removing route 1 would make
 * the most sense. Unfortunately the construct 'simple_spec_init'
 * shows up multiple times in other rules, so changing this construct
 * would also mean changing all the rules in which it appears.
 * I (Mario) therefore chose to remove route 2 instead. This means
 * that the above declaration gets stored in a
 * simple_type_declaration_c, and not in a string_type_declaration_c
 * as would be expected!

/* This symbol/leaf does not exist in the IEC standard syntax as an isolated symbol,

 * input parameters, such as AND(word#33, word#44, word#55, word#66),
 * we have extended the acceptable syntax to allow var_name '..'
 * in an input variable declaration.
 *
 * This allows us to parse the declaration of standard
 * extensible functions and load their interface definition
 * into the abstract syntax tree just like we do to other 
 * user defined functions.
 * This has the advantage that we can later do semantic
 * checking of calls to functions (be it a standard or user defined
 * function) in (almost) exactly the same way.
 *
 * The integer tells the compiler the number of the first parameter.
 * for example, for ADD(IN1 := 11, IN2:=22), the index for IN starts off at 1.
 * Some other standard library functions, such as MUX, has the extensible
 * variable starting off from 0 (IN0, IN1, IN2, ...).
 *
 * Of course, we have a flag that disables this syntax when parsing user
 * written code, so we only allow this extra syntax while parsing the 
 * 'header' file that declares all the standard IEC 61131-3 functions.

/* NOTES:
 *    The parameter 'called_function_declaration'... 
 *       ...is used to pass data between the stage 3 and stage 4.
 *       The IEC 61131-3 standard allows for overloaded standard functions. This means that some
 *       function calls are not completely defined by the name of the function being called,
 *       and need to be disambiguated with using the data types of the parameters being passed.
 *       Stage 3 does this to verify semantic correctness.
 *       Stage 4 also needs to do this in order to determine which function to call.
 *       It does not make sense to determine the exact function being called twice (once in stage 3,
 *       and again in stage 4), so stage 3 will store this info in the parameter called_function_declaration
 *       for stage 4 to use it later on.
 *    The parameter 'candidate_functions'... 
 *       ...is used to pass data between two passes within stage 3
 *       (actually between fill_candidate_datatypes_c and narrow_candidate_datatypes_c).
 *       It is used to store all the functions that may be legally called with the current parameters
 *       being used in this function invocation. Note that the standard includes some standard functions
 *       that have the exact same input parameter types, but return different data types.
 *       In order to determine which of these functions should be called, we first create a list
 *       of all possible functions, and then narrow down the list (hopefully down to 1 function)
 *       once we know the data type that the function invocation must return (this will take into 
 *       account the expression in which the function invocation is inserted/occurs).
 *       The 'called_function_declaration' will eventually be set (in stage 3) to one of
 *       the functions in the 'candidate_functions' list!
 *    The parameter 'extensible_param_count'... 
 *       ...is used to pass data between the stage 3 and stage 4.
 *       The IEC 61131-3 standard allows for extensible standard functions. This means that some
 *       standard functions may be called with a variable number of paramters. Stage 3 will store
 *       in extensible_param_count the number of parameters being passed to the extensible parameter.
