// Package inspect defines an Analyzer that provides an AST inspector
// (golang.org/x/tools/go/ast/inspector.Inspector) for the syntax trees
// of a package. It is only a building block for other analyzers.
//
// Example of use in another analysis:
//
//	import (
//		"golang.org/x/tools/go/analysis"
//		"golang.org/x/tools/go/analysis/passes/inspect"
//		"golang.org/x/tools/go/ast/inspector"
//	)
//
//	var Analyzer = &analysis.Analyzer{
//		...
//		Requires:       []*analysis.Analyzer{inspect.Analyzer},
//	}
//
//	func run(pass *analysis.Pass) (interface{}, error) {
//		inspect := pass.ResultOf[inspect.Analyzer].(*inspector.Inspector)
//		inspect.Preorder(nil, func(n ast.Node) {
//			...
//		})
//		return nil, nil
//	}
