<DD>Perform type checking of an expression and its subexpressions. This is the second phase of
 static optimization.

 <p>This checks statically that the operands of the expression have
 the correct type; if necessary it generates code to do run-time type checking or type
 conversion. A static type error is reported only if execution cannot possibly succeed, that
 is, if a run-time type error is inevitable. The call may return a modified form of the expression.</p>

 <p>This method is called after all references to functions and variables have been resolved
 to the declaration of the function or variable. However, the types of such functions and
 variables may not be accurately known if they have not been explicitly declared.</p>

 <p>If the implementation returns a value other than "this", then it is required to ensure that
 the location information in the returned expression have been set up correctly.
 It should not rely on the caller to do this, although for historical reasons many callers do so.</p>

<DD>Return an Iterator to iterate over the values of a sequence. The value of every
 expression can be regarded as a sequence, so this method is supported for all
 expressions. This default implementation relies on the process() method: it
 "pushes" the results of the instruction to a sequence in memory, and then
 iterates over this in-memory sequence.

 In principle instructions should implement a pipelined iterate() method that
 avoids the overhead of intermediate storage.
