+/* NOTE on data type handling and literals...
+ * ==========================================
+ *
+ * Literals that are explicitly type cast
+ *   e.g.:   BYTE#42
+ *           INT#65
+ *           TIME#45h23m
+ *               etc...
+ *  are NOT considered literals in the following code.
+ *  Since they are type cast, and their data type is fixed and well known,
+ *  they are treated as a variable of that data type (except when determining lvalues)
+ *  In other words, when calling search_constant_type_c on these constants, it returns
+ *  a xxxxx_type_name_c, and not one of the xxxx_literal_c !
+ *
+ *  When the following code handles a literal, it is really a literal of unknown data type.
+ *    e.g.   42, may be considered an int, a byte, a word, etc...
+ *
+ * NOTE: type_symbol == NULL is valid!
+ *       This will occur, for example, when and undefined/undeclared symbolic_variable is used in the program.
+ *       This will not be of any type, so we always return false.

-/* NOTE on data type handling and literals...
- * ==========================================
- *
- * Literals that are explicitly type cast 
- *   e.g.:   BYTE#42
- *           INT#65
- *           TIME#45h23m
- *               etc...
- *  are NOT considered literals in the following code.
- *  Since they are type cast, and their data type is fixed and well known,
- *  they are treated as a variable of that data type (except when determining lvalues)
- *  In other words, when calling search_constant_type_c on these constants, it returns
- *  a xxxxx_type_name_c, and not one of the xxxx_literal_c ! 
- *
- *  When the following code handles a literal, it is really a literal of unknown data type.
- *    e.g.   42, may be considered an int, a byte, a word, etc... 
- *
- * NOTE: type_symbol == NULL is valid!
- *       This will occur, for example, when and undefined/undeclared symbolic_variable is used in the program.
- *       This will not be of any type, so we always return false.
