+- overloading based on ASTs
   - implement ``partial`` pragma for partial evaluation: easily done with AST

   - ``hoist`` pragma for loop hoisting: can be easily done with

 - The compiler can now warn about shadowed local variables. However, this needs
   to be turned on explicitly via ``--warning[ShadowIdent]:on``.
 - The compiler now supports almost every pragma in a ``push`` pragma.
