a given function?


As a last resort, I was about to start converting the 
ToJsonVisitor to a ToAstDumpVisitor, but as you may have 
guessed, I am not particularly excited about this venture. Does 
source code exist anywhere for this already?


Thanks


Hi bitwise,

I am not aware of such a visitor but would find it helpful, too.
