analysis for patterns.
Major changes:
1. We no longer try to compute the types of functions in the parser.
2. The type of a function always matches the type of the argument patterns.
3. Every FuncDecl now has a corresponding FuncExpr; that FuncExpr might not
have a body, though.
4. We now use a new class "ExprHandle" so that both a pattern and a type
can hold a reference to the same expression.
Hopefully this will be a more reasonable foundation for further changes to
how we compute the types of FuncDecls in generics and for the implementation
of type location information.

method to initialize the members. This doesn't matter so much
for structs (the generated IR is essentially equivalent except for
small structs), but on classes, we don't want to make "new X" generate
code that knows about metadata/destructors/etc for the class X.
Also, make sure classes always have a constructor. (We haven't really
discussed the rules for implicitly declared constructors, so for now,
the rule is just "generate an implicit constructor if there is no
explicit constructor". We'll want to revisit this when we actually
design object construction.)

the various NominalDecl subclasses into a single NominalType* member
in NominalDecl. Use it to make TypeDecl::getDeclaredType() more
efficient/simpler, and simplify the ProtocolDecl/ProtocolType
interaction along the way.
No functionality change.

There are currently two places where you can use a static function defined on a protocol:
on an object with the type of the protocol (discarding the base), and on an archetype in a generic function. The AST for the protocol object case is probably okay;
the AST for the generic case is almost certainly wrong, but that whole area isn't really stable at the moment anyway. The proposal in rdar://problem/11448251 will
add a third way: operators on protocols will be found by overload resolution. (Having static functions on protocols opens up the possibility of metaprotocols,
but I don't think I need to worry about that for the moment.)
Swift SVN r2211
introduce the generic type parameters (which are simply type aliases
for a to-be-determined archetype type) into scope for name
lookup. We can now parse something like
func f<T, U : Range>(x : T, y : U) { }
but there is no semantic analysis or even basic safety checking (yet).

protocols the underlying type of the type alias shall conform to. This
isn't super-motivating by itself (one could extend the underying type
instead), but serves as documentation, makes typealiases provide the
same syntax as other nominal types in this regard, and will also be
used to specify requirements on associated types.
Swift SVN r2133
using the term "unresolved" in expressions for a while, and it fits
for types better than "dependent type."
The term "dependent type" will likely come back at some point to mean
"involves an archetype".

A user-defined conversion function is an instance method that accepts
an empty tuple and returns a value of the type we're converting to,
has the [conversion] attribute, and is named __conversion. The last of
these restrictions is a temporary hack to work around our inability to
perform a lookup across all extensions for "every function with the
conversion attribute", and shouldn't last too long.
As in C++, we only get one user-defined conversion function. Unlike in
C++, a constructor is not (and cannot) be a conversion function.
Introduce NSString <-> String conversion functions, but leave the
runtime implementations as stubs for Dave to fill in.

classes, with the same syntax as we have on protocols. This
inheritance specifies explicit conformance to a protocol.
Later, we can allow a class definition to have a single class type
within this list, when we introduce class inheritance.

applies to operators whose first parameter is [byref]. Assignments
must return Void, and have their first arguments implicitly treated as
an lvalue.
As part of this, add the various C compound operators (+=, -=, *=, /=,
&=, |=, and ^=) to the standard library.

This commit covers the basic functionality of protocol inheritance, including:
- Parsing & AST representation
- Conforming to a protocol also requires conforming to its inherited
protocols
- Member lookup into a protocol also looks into its inherited
protocols (results are aggregated; there is no name hiding)
- Teach ErasureExpr to maintain lvalueness, so we don't end up
performing a silly load/erase/materialize dance when accessing
members from an inherited protocol.
