+ *  The "identity" statement is used to define a new globally unique,
+ *  abstract, and untyped identity.  Its only purpose is to denote its
+ *  name, semantics, and existence.  An identity can either be defined
+ *  from scratch or derived from a base identity.  The identity's
+ *  argument is an identifier that is the name of the identity.  It is
+ *  followed by a block of substatements that holds detailed identity
+ *  information.
