The so-called "lowering" pass (really a kind of AST-to-AST legalization pass right now) needs to handle some basic scalarization of structured types, and it does this by inventing what I call "pseuo-expressions" and "pseudo-declarations."
For example, there is a pseudo-expression node type that represents a tuple of N other expressions, and certain operations act element-wise over such tuples.
The problem was that the implementation introduced these out-of-band expression/declaration types into the existing AST hierarchy which led to a dilemma:
- If these new AST nodes were declared like all the others (and integrated into the visitor dispatch approach, etc.) then every pass would need to deal with them even though they are meant to be a transient implementation detail of this one pass
- But if the new nodes *aren't* declared like the others, then they can't meaningfully interact with visitor dispatch, and will just crash the compiler if they somehow "leak" through to latter passes. And because they are just ordinary AST nodes from a C++ type-system perspective, such leaking is entirely possible (if not probable)
Hopefully that setup helps make the solution clear: instead of having the "lowering" pass map an expression to an expression, it needs to map an expression to a new data type (here called `LoweredExpr`) that can wrap *either* an ordinary expression (the common case) or one of the new out-of-band values. Any code that accepts a `LoweredExpr` needs to handle all the cases, or explicitly decide that it can't/won't deal with anything other than ordinary expressions.
Most of the code changes are straightforward at that point, although the whole "lowering" approach is a bit fiddly right now, so gertting the tests passing took a bit of attention. I'm not sure our test coverage of all this code is great, so I wouldn't be surprised if some failures are lurking still.

Fixes #133
We already had logic to skip adding `flat` to a vertex input, and this just extends it to not adding `flat` to a fragment output.
Note that explicit qualifiers in the input HLSL/Slang will still be carried through to the output, so it is still possible for a Slang user to shoot themself in the foot with interpolation qualifiers.

Fixes #122
- In cases with an explicit mip level being specified, there was a mistake in how the argument for setting the mip level in the GLSL code was constructed that led to a parse error in GLSL
- Also, that argument is a `uint` in HLSL and an `int` in GLSL, so an explicit cast was needed
- The GLSL functions here seem to require a newer GLSL (at least higher than `420`), so I had to add in a capability for builtins to specify a required GLSL version. For now I made these ones require `450`.
- Added a test case to confirm that our lowering works (for some definition of "works")

Fixes #103
- Previously I was relying on scalar-to-vector promotion to pick the right type in these cases, but I hadn't implemented scalar-to-matrix promotion (I should...)
- Rather than relying on promotion behavior, this change goes ahead and adds explicit overloads. I think this is probably a better decision in the long term, since one might want to support these cases for operators, while warning (or erroring) on the more general cases of implicit conversion.
- This covers matrix/scalar, scalar/matrix, vector/scalar, and scalar/vector cases

Fixes #75
In order to avoid cascaded errors, I went ahead and made the parser refuse to skip past a `}` in recovery mode. The problem with this is that we fail to make forward progress if we are stuck on a `}` (this happens if you have an extra `}` at the global scope.

Fixes #34.
I'd declared these as if they were `InputPatch<T>`, but they are really `InputPatch<T,N>`.
This change fixes the declarations, and makes these types no longer inherit from the contrived `BuiltinGenericType`.
Instead they are more-or-less ordinary `DeclRefType`s using the same approach that `MatrixExpressionType` uses.
