*** DEVELOPER CHANGE ***
Swig module mutation has been changed slightly. When a language
class method wants to save node attributes, it now uses one of the
following functions:
Swig_require()
Swig_save()
The first argument to these functions is a namespace in which
saved attributes are placed. For example,this code
Node *n;
Swig_save("cDeclaration",n,"type","parms","name",NIL);
saves the attributes as "cDeclaration:type", "cDeclaration:parms",
and so forth. If necessary, a language module can refer to
old values by using this special namespace qualifier.
In addition to this, a special attribute "view" contains the name
of the last namespace used to save attributes. In the above
example, "view" would have the value "cDeclaration". The value
of "cDeclaration:view" would have the previous view and so forth.
Swig_restore(n) restores a node to the state before the last
Swig_require() or Swig_save() call.
Note: This change makes it easier for language modules to refer
to old values of attributes.
