Eolian now separates 'parent' and 'extensions'. For regular
classes, parent is the first item in the inherits list and
extesions is the rest. For interfaces and mixins, parent is
NULL and extends is the inherits list.
The reason for this is the separation of them in syntax in near
future. It also slightly changes the behavior; since for interfaces
and mixins, parent is always NULL now, you can freely inherit from
all types of classes without needing to manually put an interface
type as the first item of the inherits list.
This will make it easier for generators and utilities to retrieve
the class that implemented a method/property/etc rather than the
class the implement was originally defined for. Thanks to this
it will no longer be necessary to carry the class pointer around
the place.
Summary:
This tagging keyword explicitly asks, for bindings that support it,
that the constructor's parameters are added to the class constructor.
Allowing the user to instantiate the class and call the constructor in
a straightforward way.

Doc refs no longer introduce new dependencies into files. Instead,
they're parsed globally, and any doc ref lookup is also made
globally. This allows unit based dependencies to correspond more
to what files actually really need at compile time/runtime, with
docs being irrelevant to that; it also simplifies the API.
The doc resolution API now takes Eolian_State instead of
Eolian_Unit, too.
This is cleaner than adding into a hash manually. Additionally, it
is now possible to request that the file be parsed not as a dep,
but rather standalone, which will be useful later.
Eolian doc objects now bundle debug information necessary to
provide correct line/column numbers. It is not possible to get
this information cirectly from the text, as it's reformatted and
contains no extra whitespace or newlines beyond paragraph
separators.
Fixes T6701.
Previously, when an error happened in Eolian, the state was left
in a presumably unusable and inconsistent condition. This work
aims to change that, as all changes are committed into a staging
area before being validated and merged back into main state.
This is not yet complete, as units and by-file lookups are not
currently involved in the rollback. This will change in the
subsequent commits.
@feature
Unlike panic, this will be used to handle regular errors
such as parse errors. There will be no jumps and you
will be able to pass in a pointer to get the error
data into some local memory. That way you will be
able to override printing error messages.
As nearly every Eolian handle is backed by an Eolian_Object,
this information is now publicly exposed and has an API. This
opens up an array of new possibilities for tooling, as you
can now externally query file names, line numbers etc.,
as well as cast arbitrary handles to Eolian_Object pointers
and back.
This will be expanded later and it will replace the Declaration
system, as it's cleaner, better integrated and more versatile.
@feature
This makes sure variables are stored as well as types within their
respective units. Also, declarations are now refcounted just like
any other Eolian object.
As it is no longer necessary to pass unit when evaluating exprs,
it is not necessary to pass it here either. Convert all the APIs
to the new style and update all instances in our tree.
