       This is a collection of functions for dealing with PPI::Statements.

       Nothing is exported by default.

   "get_constant_name_elements_from_declaring_statement($statement)"
       Given a PPI::Statement, if the statement is a Readonly or Const::Fast declaration statement or a "use
       constant", returns the names of the things being defined.

       Given

           use constant 1.16 FOO => 'bar';

       this will return the PPI::Token::Word containing 'FOO'.  Given

           use constant 1.16 { FOO => 'bar', 'BAZ' => 'burfle' };

       this will return a list of the PPI::Tokens containing 'FOO' and 'BAZ'. Similarly, given

           Readonly::Hash my %FOO => ( bar => 'baz' );

       or

           const my %FOO => ( bar => 'baz' );

       this will return the PPI::Token::Symbol containing '%FOO'.
