Full spec todo - #10

This is headed in a very good direction. The efforts put into organization up front and the detail focus is really coming through.

Felt like I was learning the language as I read the tests, that's awesome! Keep going, you got this.

Thanks. While writing this, I thought that it would be possible to deprecate manual.rst in favor of the auto-generated documentation that is built from this language spec. Most likely I will be pulling in some pieces of description from the manual and real documentation in the future.

There are some open questions wrt. to testing things like dynlib for example (though, I would be very interested in including compiler interactions in the tests as well. Like testing that --app:lib behaves properly, for example)

[haxscramper]

As per our earlier discussion (incrementally merging tests as I write them instead of waiting for some "final" state) I cleaned up things and update some small missing documentation bits.

I also tried out the idea of building a manual from the tests - https://github.com/haxscramper/hack/blob/1d27d5515b48cd57500f75d9dfca1160aa2664a2/testing/nim/implementation_ideas/build_manual.nim ... I think it is possible to do, though nim rst renderer is ugly as hell, and it is hard to procedurally create rst AST that will simply be converted to the readable document. But that is a trivial thing to fix.

This is absolutely fantastic

Except for squash, I think this is done.

Pretty sure this is not meant to be here?

Looks good for the most part, except some empty files.
