Front-End Parser documentation

[schmouk]

We still need to think about the Parser of the Typee Front-End. Remember: it takes as input the Intermediate Code generated by the Scanner and it generates as output a Syntaxic Intermediate Code (which is an Input for the next stage of the Translator pipeline).

This documentation should at least contain:

• an explanation on the role of the Parser;
• a description of the manipulated data structure;
• a list and a description of every related Python module;
• a description of how things go on when syntaxic errors have been detected as well as when types static checking has failed;
• ... (please add here any missing item).

We should NOT upload any code module before we all agree and validate this very important document, since first tries to develop the Parser have proven that we were not yet ready to develop it in a satisfying manner.

Ok, so let me play with this issue first. You'll be informed as soon as I will have released the token :-)

Sorry, I finally uploaded Parser code before having written this document... Nevertheless, it will be easier to write this doc now and, should any modification take place in the' doc, it would be easy to make related modifications in the code.
