(** The checker: AST → typed IR.
Two passes, because top-level names in a package are order-independent
(plan.org, Modules): the first collects every type, signature and global,
the second checks bodies against them. Mutually recursive functions need no
forward declaration, and a struct may be used above where it is declared.
Checking is *bidirectional*. An expression is checked against an expected
type when there is one and inferred when there is not, which is what makes
[None], a bare [0] and a struct literal work without any inference engine:
the expected type flows in from the function's return type, the parameter
it is being passed to, or the field it is being stored in.
The rule from the two misparse bugs applies here too: *anything not yet
implemented is rejected by name*, never approximated. Milestone 2 is
calc-me.flan and nothing more (plan.org, Build sequence), so [Vec], [Map],
[Result]/[try], user unions, closures, [dotimes], [defer], generics and
cross-package imports are all errors with a message that says which
milestone they belong to. *)
