Yes, there is a lot of code, and it's not always trivial to trace into it.

Have you looked into the compiler pipeline in Main.py? (~line 110). It runs
after the parser, but the most interesting stuff happens there, actually.
Just set a break point into a class that looks interesting and see what it
does with the tree. To print the tree, call "node.dump()" at any time, or
put a "PrintTree()" into the pipeline at any point.
