Sem_Util. This patch makes it explicit in a comment since it can be
useful when choosing where to put a helper subprogram.

-- content of entities in the tree, so this package is used for routines that
-- require more than minimal semantic knowledge.
+-- However, this package is in the closure of the binder executable. If you're
