## Dumps the content of an expression, useful for debugging.
## It accepts any expression and prints a textual representation
## of the tree representing the expression - as it would appear in
## source code - together with the value of the expression.

## As an example,
##
## .. code-block:: nim
## let
## x = 10
## y = 20
## dump(x + y)
##
## will print ``x + y = 30``.
