Expand description
Running the front end over one file, from the bytes on disk to the typed tree.
Design: spec/04-driver-and-cli.md section 4.3, and the M2 exit criterion in
spec/17-milestones.md that says --emit=tast works.
preprocess stops after phase 4 because -E stops there. This
carries on: phase 7, the parse, and the checking. It is one function rather than four composed
ones because of what the four share. The tokens hold interned symbols, the untyped tree holds
tokens, the typed tree holds the untyped tree’s spans, and none of them owns the table it is
reading, so one Session has to outlive all of them and there has to be one place that
holds it.
