This infers the types of literals and abbreviations.
This is not yet complete, but it's mostly there. I was surprised at how complex
it turned out to be, but it's significantly less awkward than having it
threaded through the parser (plus it works correctly, unlike the old code).
There are a few FIXMEs for things I've yet to implement.
We now have three kinds of canned tree traversals, all of which are smart about
which types they're applied to: explicit-descent transformations,
implicit-descent transformations, and implicit-descent checks. I've only
provided depth-first application of the latter two, but we could do
breadth-first in the future if necessary.
There's obviously some overlap with the Rain typechecker here. I've tried to
cover everything in the AST that could potentially be bound into occam at some
point in the future, even if the occam parser doesn't support it yet (so
this'll do checks for Concat and mobile allocation, for example).
The existing constant-folding code in the parser is still there, since it needs
to know whether things are constant, and A.Dimension expects an Int.
However, this pass is useful because it does a better job of constant folding
than the parser would on its own: it can fold subexpressions of expressions
that are as a whole not constant.
