Previously, we were assuming all declared variables were bound to a
block scope, now, with the addition of declaration types, we can bind
a variable to a block scope using `let`, or a function scope (the scope
of the inner-most enclosing function of a `var` declaration) using
`var`.
The above snippet is a MemberExpression that necessitates the implicit
construction of a StringObject wrapper around a PrimitiveString.
We then do a property lookup (a "get") on the StringObject, where we
find the "length" property. This is pretty neat! :^)
It's now possible to assign expressions to variables. The variables are
put into the current scope of the interpreter.
Variable lookup follows the scope chain, ending in the global object.
I always tell people to start building things by working on the thing
that seems the most interesting right now. The most interesting thing
here was an AST + simple interpreter, so that's where we start!
There is no lexer or parser yet, we build an AST directly and then
execute it in the interpreter, producing a return value.
This seems like the start of something interesting. :^)
