I will just make the members public then, this should solve the naming issues as well.

Just syntactic sugar, really. It enforces to set the AST reference or explicitly not. I find the usage
```
MyASTNode : Tok(Tok, this) {}
```
nicer than
```
MyASTNode : Tok(Tok) { Tok->ASTReference = this; }
```
.

This is the naming I found in Clang (Stmt::DeclRefExprClass). As this enum is inside the class ASTElement, the user would write ASTElement::UnparsableBlockClass, not just UnparsableBlock. ASTElement::AEC_UnparsableBlock seems redundant to me.

I thought not using an ASTContext would be simpler, but it might not be simpler in the end. The two alternatives are ASTContext or a clone method. I agree that ASTContext would be the cleanest solution.

This is a different ownership. Every token points to the AST and every AST node "owns" a list of tokens. When a QualifiedID is parsed, it isn't decided yet whether it'll be part of a Type or a CallExpr. This reown handles the ast reference and cannot be simplified by an ASTContext.

This is the approach found in clang/AST/Stmt.h. It simplifies the setters by introducing a "setRef" method (useful by >2 entries). Setters are needed because they also set the AST reference of the token.

Because this also skips comments which need to be highlighted.

I followed the LLVM guideline: http://llvm.org/docs/CodingStandards.html#anonymous-namespaces
I don't quite agree with the reasoning, so I'm happy to change this.

Redundant because of "enum class", but I can change the enum class back to a plain enum and add the OF_ prefix if wished.
