    # Compiling is the conversion of the AST into 2 things:
    # - code (ie sequences of Instructions inside Blocks) carried by MethodSource
    # - an object graph containing all the Methods, their classes and Constants
    #
    # Some compile methods just add code, some may add structure (ie Blocks) while
    # others instantiate Class and Method objects
    #
    # Everything in ruby is an statement, ie returns a value. So the effect of every compile
    # is that a value is put into the ReturnSlot of the current Message.
    # The compile method (so every compile method) returns the value that it deposits.
    #
    # The process uses a visitor pattern (from AST::Processor) to dispatch according to the
    # type the statement. So a s(:if xx) will become an on_if(node) call.
    # This makes the dispatch extensible, ie Expressions may be added by external code,
    # as long as matching compile methods are supplied too.
