With the recent merging of embedded package imports and the entry CLI
package, it is now possible for users to build in mcl code into a single
binary. This additional permission makes it explicitly clear that this
is permitted to make it easier for those users. The condition is phrased
so that the terms can be "patched" by the original author if it's
necessary for the project. For example, if the name of the language
(mcl) changes, has a differently named new version, someone finds a
phrasing improvement or a legal loophole, or for some other
reasonable circumstance. Now go write some beautiful embedded tools!
This adds support for `include as <identifier>` type statements which in
addition to pulling in any defined resources, it also makes the contents
of the scope of the class available to the scope of the include
statement, but prefixed by the identifier specified.
This makes passing data between scopes much more powerful, and it also
allows classes to return useful classes for subsequent use.
This also improves the SetScope procedure and adds to the Ordering
stage. It's unclear if the current Ordering stage can handle all code,
or if there exist corner-cases which are valid code, but which would
produce a wrong or imprecise topological sort.
Some extraneous scoping bugs still exist, which expose certain variables
that we should not depend on in future code.

This is a giant refactor to split the giant lang package into many
subpackages. The most difficult piece was figuring out how to extract
the extra ast structs into their own package, because they needed to
call two functions which also needed to import the ast.
The solution was to separate out those functions into their own
packages, and to pass them into the ast at the root when they're needed,
and to let the relevant ast portions call a handle.
This isn't terribly ugly because we already had a giant data struct
woven through the ast.
The bad part is rebasing any WIP work on top of this.
