/* A symbol table is constructed each time PyNode_Compile() is
   called.  The table walks the entire parse tree and identifies each
   use or definition of a variable. 

   The symbol table contains a dictionary for each code block in a
   module: The symbol dictionary for the block.  They keys of these
   dictionaries are the name of all variables used or defined in the
   block; the integer values are used to store several flags,
   e.g. DEF_PARAM indicates that a variable is a parameter to a
   function.
