gofmt formatted source code looks pretty good already;
with a bit more fine-tuning it should be great.

printer.go:
- Implemented comment intersperse algorithm.
  The approach is a result of many trial-and-error
  experiments but at this point reasonably simple
  and open to arbitrary fine-tuning.

parser.go:
- Simplified handling of lead and line comments
  (formerly called leading and trailing comments).
- Use a comments list instead of an array (I may
  change this back - this is not obviously better
  and uses more space).

doc.go:
- Remove comments from AST nodes that have been
  'consumed' in the documentation to avoid duplicate
  printing of them. Allows for better control of
  what is printed w/o use of printing control flags
  (which are hard to use and not fine-grained enough).

- Operations on the ADT do not lead to results that are
  outside the domain of the ADT (closed interface).

and decrement.  blockCompilers now form a tree the mimics the
nesting of scopes and provide convenient ways to enter and
exit scopes.  blockCompilers also track the break and continue
PC for the current block.  The statement testing interface now
works in lists of statements, which simplifies a bunch of
things.

function calling.  Implement a type compiler and named types.
Implement a universal scope containing built-in named types,
and some built-in constants.  Implement a simple virtual
machine for executing statements and single-valued return.

Fix many places that incorrectly dealt with named types.  In
particular, the Type.Zero methods now use the type's bit count
to determine the appropriate value representation.  As a
result, a bit count of 0 now means architecture-dependent and
bounded types use unsafe.Sizeof to determine the correct
bounds.  Previously, the bounds on a 32-bit machine would have
been wrong.

Eliminated Type.compatible, since the implementation is
equivalent for all types.  Added Type.rep that shallowly
strips named types.  Replaced almost all uses of Type.literal
with Type.rep.

Fix implementation of assign-op's so it only evaluates the
left side once.  As part of this, there is now a generic way
to separate out the effect and value of an expression.
