I’m trying to figure out where are these features and what directories I need
to look at.
The steps I would go are:
1. Create a new test file for the AST phase with “alter MyAlterTest1 {}”.
Figure out where the corresponding makefile/whatever is and add the test file
there too. Test and instantly fail, until I do:
2. Copy whichever files handle raw-value enumerations for the “similar existing
feature” and alter them to until I get an AST match.
3. ???
4. Profit?
