Many type declarations in the ASIS package should be moved to the
child packages.

 The appropriate packaging of types with their associated operations
 is lost by collecting all of the types in the ASIS package. For example,
 the type Asis.Traverse_Control should be declared in Asis.Iterator; or
 the subtype, Context_Clause_List (itself possibly unnecessary) should
 be moved to Asis.Elements.


 Evaluate each type declaration and determine the most appropriate
 encapsulation.
