Hi, I'm new to compiler plugins. I don't know where to start.
I want to append a function parameter at start, replace a field usage to use that parameter, a little bit like compose's plugin.
For example:

const val processor: Processor get() = throw RuntimeException("Should replaced by compiler plugin")

Original code:

fun apiCall(p0: Int) {
   processor.something(p0)
}

fun main() {
   apiCall(123)
}

Would become:

fun apiCall(p0: Int) {
   processor.something(p0)
}

fun main() {
   Processor().use { processor ->
     // old main's entire body
     apiCall(processor, 123)
   }
}

Where should I start? What level does this belongs to? What are some related classes/function will be used, so I can look into?
