Compiler manages the top level process of the compiler pipeline. There are a couple different "pipelines" used to accomplish various twists on compiling Fantom code (from memory, files, etc). The pipelines are implemented as discrete CompilerSteps. As the steps are executed, the Compiler instance itself stores the state as we move from files -> ast -> resolved ast -> code.

Error reporting is managed via the Compiler.errors list. If the compiler encounters problems it accumulates the errors as CompileExceptions in this list, then raises the first exception to the caller. All errors go thru the CompilerSupport.err() methods for logging. To log an error and continue we simply call err(). To fail fast, we code something like: throw err(). Or at the end of a step we may call bombIfErr() which throws the first exception if any errors have accumulated.
