Whatever is spit out by parser.suite().  Things like grammar.txt's 
"statement" being represented symbol.stmt, and grammar.txt's stmt_list not 
existing at all in the AST trees (though most/all of the other _lists 
exist).

2.3.  I'm using http://docs.python.org/ref/grammar.txt as my grammar 
reference.

:(  Is there at least some rationale why the AST trees don't match the 
grammar definitions?
