Closes #49

Alternative for or addition to https://github.com/SkyTemple/ExplorerScript/pull/45.

Code example:

MovePositionOffset<actor ACTOR_ATTENDANT1>(1, 24, 0);
WaitExecuteLives(ACTOR_ATTENDANT1);

SetEffect<actor ACTOR_ATTENDANT1>(EFFECT_JOYOUS, 3);
MovePositionOffset<actor ACTOR_ATTENDANT1>(1, 48, 0);
WaitExecuteLives(ACTOR_ATTENDANT1);

SetEffect<actor ACTOR_ATTENDANT1>(EFFECT_NONE, 3);

The compiled code is identical with the existing with syntax.

@tech-ticks You changed the SsbScript syntax but did not change the compiler. You will need to also support this syntax in SsbScript or at least throw an exception.

Sorry for the late reply. I opted for throwing an exception because with blocks are also not supported so it didn't feel like a good fit for the language.
