Description
Attribution code uses two parameters, pt and pkind respectively, to propagate the info about expected type and expected symbol kind. It would be nice to merge those values into an instance of a more general Result class.

EVALUATION This is a nice idea as it opens up possibilities of hooking custom check logics onto a given Result instance (which will be very useful in order to implement lambda expression attribution support).
