Classes and Instances (`class`, `new`)

[maxrt101]

New types needed: ClassType - Class ClassInstanceType - ClassInstance

class File will be a Class ClassInstance will store a Ref to Class

New keywords needed: static pub

Example:

class File {
  handle: CFile;
  pub filename: string;

  read(size: uint): array -> {}

  static open(name: string): File -> { ... }
}

Prototype Inheritance Will have base class as a field of ClassInstance If multiple inheritance will be a thing, a list of base classes will be stored
