/// Since Slice definitions can be split across multiple files, and defined in any order, it is impossible for some
/// things to be determined during parsing (as it's a sequential process).
///
/// So, after parsing is complete, we modify the AST in place, 'patching' in the information that can only now be
/// computed, in the following order:
/// 1. References to other Slice types are verified and resolved.
/// 2. Compute and store the Slice encodings that each element can be used with.
///
/// This function fails fast, so if any phase of patching fails, we skip any remaining phases.
