Module sway_core::decl_engine

The DeclEngine allows the compiler to add a layer of separation between AST nodes and declarations.

As an interface, you can think of the DeclEngine as a mapping from DeclId to DeclWrapper. When a DeclWrapper is inserted into the DeclEngine, a DeclId is generated, which is then used to refer to the declaration.
