20### `link(ast)`
21
22Flatten the Pug AST of inclusion and inheritance.

24This function merely links the AST together; it doesn't read the file system to resolve and parse included and extended files. Thus, the main AST must already have the ASTs of the included and extended files embedded in the `FileReference` nodes. `pug-load` is designed to do that.
