[COMPILER]
* NEW: Add ByRef annotations to the ".info" files generated by the compiler. The name of "ByRef" method arguments is now prefixed with a '&' character.
[COMPILER]
* OPT: Some optimizations in symbol table routines.
* NEW: Emit column position in almost all error messages. It makes the compiler 2.5% slower, even with the optimizations.
* NEW: UNSAFE is a new keyword used in conjunction with FAST. It tells the JIT compiler not to do any safety check (null objects, division by zero, out of array bounds...). It makes the code a bit faster, but prone to segmentation fault.
[INTERPRETER]
* NEW: Support for the UNSAFE keyword.
[GB.JIT]
* NEW: Support for the UNSAFE keyword.

* OPT: Compile is now compiled with -O3 optimizations.
* OPT: Reserved words built-in symbol table is faster now.
* NEW: Initial support for expression datatype analyze. Some new errors are raised at compilation time, like using a string with the AND operator for example. The datatype analyzer is rougher than the IDE one because it is local to the compile class.
* OPT: Symbol table search is a bit faster.

overriden by a declaration. This is suspicious.

property declaration can now be surrounded by braces to prevent a
possible warning.
[GB.FORM]
