5 // The main idea in Courgette is to do patching *under a tranformation*. The
6 // input is transformed into a new representation, patching occurs in the new
7 // repesentation, and then the tranform is reversed to get the patched data.
8 //
9 // The idea is applied to pieces (or 'Elements') of the whole (or 'Ensemble').
10 // Each of the elements has to go through the same set of steps in lock-step,
11 // but there may be many different kinds of elements, which have different
12 // transformation.
14 // This file declares all the main types involved in creating and applying a
15 // patch with this structure.
