Description:

node for parse-trees, representing cascade message sends
This is a helper class for the compiler.

Instance protocol:

 asTranslatorNodeIn: aTMethod

make a CCodeGenerator equivalent of me

 realReceiver

return the real receiver
(sigh; ST/X encodes things differently)

 codeForCascadeOn: aStream inBlock: b for: aCompiler

the old code could lead to a recursion error with
long cascades;
the new code does not.

usage example(s):

receiver codeForCascadeOn:aStream inBlock:b for:aCompiler.

 codeOn: aStream inBlock: b valueNeeded: valueNeeded for: aCompiler

 messages

helper for parse tree walking

 nodeDo: anEnumerator

helper for parse tree walking

 evaluateForCascadeIn: anEnvironment

new code: avoids recursion error for long cascades

usage example(s):

t := receiver evaluateForCascadeIn:anEnvironment.

 evaluateIn: anEnvironment

t perform:selector. ^ t

 printMessagePartOn: aStream indent: i

 printOn: aStream indent: i

new code:

usage example(s):

receiver printOn:aStream indent:i.

 isCascade

 acceptVisitor: aVisitor

Double dispatch back to the visitor, passing my type encoded in
the selector (visitor pattern)
