Request support for token start, end locations.

Currenly there is no support for to determine an identifires position and location like line and column for the future error reporting. Please show us a way to do that. By looking at the acorn parser looks confusing.

Import statements, classes, arrays & types. FR.

Import & export are a big deal in code land, was wondering if you were planning on including these in the series.

Same for classes / arrays and types(: String, : Int, etc)

Thanks for these series, it's been very assisting in understanding an interpreter/compiler and how to make one.

classes:
properties inside classes act as object keys?

class Animal {}

imports:
importing only from string or with from/select

import "./some-file.txt";
import { someFunc } from "./some-other-file.txt";

exports:
export functions so they can be imported

export func handyFunc () {}

types:
only in special file types like file.t.txt

const numericVal: int = 123; // or : num / : number
const stringVal: char = "abc"; // or : str / : string

arrays:
some variable containing an array

const list = [];
const filledList = [1,2,3];

etc. etc.
