* BUG: Forgot to call JIT function when the call is dynamic, i.e. if the object owning the method has an anonymous datatype (Object or Variant).
[GB.JIT]
* BUG: Save the initial stack pointer of a function in the function stack instead of using the interpreter stack.
[GB.JIT]
* BUG: Set the SP stack pointer before calling the conversion function to workaround the compiler optimizations and prevent a memory leak at function end if the conversion fails and an exception is raised.
[INTERPRETER]
* NEW: Overriding public variables was useless, and is now forbidden to help JIT compiler optimizations.

[GB.FORM.EDITOR]
* NEW: Support for the new syntax highlighting color constants.
[INTERPRETER]
