+* The `BraceStmt` AST node's `AstNode getElement(index)` member predicate no longer returns `VarDecl`s after the `PatternBindingDecl` that declares them. Instead, a new `VarDecl getVariable(index)` predicate has been introduced for accessing the variables declared in a `BraceStmt`. This change only affects query writers.
