// analyzing, intermediate codegeneration, and target codegeneration one by one

// lexing to codegen). Despite it's faster than multipass compilers, we're
// restricted syntax-wise and from compiletime optimizations, yet we support
// "forward names" to call functions before they defined (unlike C/Python).
