#100syntax to make a module a struct/enum type

In Zig, the top level scope of a file is a struct; you have fields.

Code is great.

In this project, I don't think this is an exact thing we should copy. But the pattern is interesting. I think it would be cool to support.

Before this idea can be truly considered we need @import and module declarations, but i imagine syntax like this.

// Tokenizer.wl /// Documentation comment for Tokenizer ... struct Tokenizer { code: string, pos: int, } fn tokenize(...) { ... }

Then, using @import("Tokenizer.wl") will return you Tokenizer, and you could Tokenizer.tokenize to access the function.

Alternatives could be toplevel struct, module struct, or something else.

I like this better than Zig's form because we can have top-level enums and unions.

Milestone: 0.3.0.
