Statik is a high-level Abstract Syntax Tree or Abstract Semantic Graph with three goals:

1. Provide high-level information as members directly in node elements, so that most parsing can be done intuitively using semantics.

   interface StatikKotlinFunction<out PARENT> : StatikFunction<PARENT> /* ... */ {
   
     // semantic information about the function
     override val annotations: LazySet<StatikAnnotation<*>>
     override val visibility: StatikKotlinVisibility
     override val typeParameters: LazySet<StatikKotlinTypeParameter<*>>
     override val valueParameters: LazySet<StatikKotlinValueParameter<*>>
     override val returnType: LazyDeferred<ReferenceName>
   
     // syntactic information about the function
     override val modifierList: ModifierList
     override val typeParameterList: TypeParameterList?
     override val valueParameterList: ValueParameterList?
     // ...
   
     // standard AST features
     override val text: String
     override val containingFile: StatikKotlinFile
     override val parent: PARENT
     override val children: LazySet<StatikElement>
     override val node: KtFunction
   }

2. Make Statik's published artifacts work with multiple versions of the Kotlin compiler, so that a Statik update does not require a simultaneous Kotlin update. This is accomplished using Gradle's Feature Variants, so that Gradle automatically selects the right Statik .jar based upon the Kotlin version in use.

3. Resolve non-Kotlin as well, including references to Java and Android resources generated from xml.
