I have been looking a 'rubynode' .

The problem is I don't have a clear idea of the
actual structure of the AST.

I assume that their is a tree structure of Nodes

What I need to know is the BASIC outline of
structures, the head ot the AST, and how NODES
a linked or referenced.

I know the a T_NODE object can point a other
T_NODE object (u1,u2,u3), 

But beyond that I am floundering a bit.
