adds some functionality to it
moves the requires from compiler there

+# VOOL is the abstraction of ruby, ruby minus some of the fluff
+#      fluff is generally what makes ruby nice to use, like 3 ways to achieve the same thing
+#      if/unless/ternary , reverse ifs (ie statement if condition), reverse whiles,
+#      implicit blocks, splats and multiple assigns etc
+#
+# Also, Vool is a typed tree, not abstract, so  there is a base class Statement
+#            and all it's derivation that make up the syntax tree
+#
+# This allows us to write compilers or passes of the compiler(s) as functions on the
