The "compiler" of the TNSL language is formed of several parts, each discussed
in their own file.
1) Parsing
1a) The tokenizer - chews up .tnsl files and spits out tokens
1b) The file resolver - interperets import commands and creates a tree of files to compile
1c) The definer -
1d) The AST generator - indexes tokens and provides some rudimentary syntax checking
2) Validation
2a) The expander - expands pre-processor commands and macro operations
2b) The validator - checks all requirements for all functions and expressions are valid
3) Translation
3a) Variable resolver - chooses and creates an internal model of where variables are on the stack, as well as calling conventions for functions
3b) Type translator - places and translates types (internal and external)
3c) Container resolver - checks container (elf, exe, dll, app, out, etc.) and decides how to map the types for future linking
3d) Final translation - translates all logic and expressions into native binary code
3e) Optimization
3f) Container Writer - writes the final output of the previous steps into the specified container
