a8e2ba233c Add support for "nonlocal" (capitalized) names, and change how variable lookup works.
Inside a method, all local variable lookup stops at the method boundary. In other
words, methods, do not close over outer local variables.

If a name is not found inside a method and is lowercase, it's a method on this.
If it's capitalized, it's a global variable.

4d67f2270a Use more conventional syntax for constructors.
They are now invoked like "new Foo".
Also, superclass constructors are now much less semantically
and syntactically weird. Since the instance is created before
any constructor is called, there's no point in time where the
instance isn't there.

157944aa27 Get closures working!
In the process, I had to change the grammar. There is now a strong
separation between statements and expressions. The code was just wrong
before when it popped locals at the end of a block scope because there
could be temporaries on the stack if the block was in expression
position. This fixes that.

Still need to implement closing over `this`.
