used for any kind of tree transformations, not necessarily only

    """
    Creates factory functions from transformation-functions that
    dispatch on the first parameter after the context parameter.

    Decorating a transformation-function that has more than merely the
    ``context``-parameter with ``transformation_factory`` creates a
    function with the same name, which returns a partial-function that
    takes just the context-parameter.

    Additionally, there is some some syntactic sugar for
    transformation-functions that receive a collection as their second
    parameter and do not have any further parameters. In this case a
    list of parameters passed to the factory function will be converted
    into a collection.

    Main benefit is readability of processing tables.

    Usage::

        @transformation_factory(AbstractSet[str])
        def remove_tokens(context, tokens):
            ...

    or, alternatively::

        @transformation_factory
        def remove_tokens(context, tokens: AbstractSet[str]):
            ...

    Example::

        trans_table = { 'expression': remove_tokens('+', '-') }

    instead of::

        trans_table = { 'expression': partial(remove_tokens, tokens={'+', '-'}) }

    Parameters:
        t1:  type of the second argument of the transformation function,
            only necessary if the transformation functions' parameter list
            does not have type annotations.

    Traverses the snytax tree starting with the given ``node`` depth
    first and applies the sequences of callback-functions registered
    in the ``processing_table``-dictionary.

    The most important use case is the transformation of a concrete
    syntax tree into an abstract tree (AST). But it is also imaginable
    to employ tree-traversal for the semantic analysis of the AST.

    In order to assign sequences of callback-functions to nodes, a
    dictionary ("processing table") is used. The keys usually represent
    tag names, but any other key function is possible. There exist
    three special keys:

    - '<': always called (before any other processing function)
    - '*': called for those nodes for which no (other) processing
      function appears in the table
    - '>': always called (after any other processing function)

    Args:
        root_node (Node): The root-node of the syntax tree to be traversed
        processing_table (dict): node key -> sequence of functions that
            will be applied to matching nodes in order. This dictionary
            is interpreted as a ``compact_table``. See
            :func:`expand_table` or :func:`EBNFCompiler.EBNFTransTable`
        key_func (function): A mapping key_func(node) -> keystr. The default
            key_func yields node.parser.name.

    Example::

        table = { "term": [replace_by_single_child, flatten],
                  "factor, flowmarker, retrieveop": replace_by_single_child }
