Usage References, Pointer, Clones

Syntax:

<type> [ptr][clone]<name> = [ref]<expr>;

pointer:

i32 *pointer = &value;

references:

i32 reference = *pointer;

address:

() address = (void*) &reference;

clone:

i32 @test = orig;

Lambda

(<ident>,...) -> {}
(<ident>,...) -> expr

examples:

lambdaTest(() -> 4);

lambdaTest((argc, args) -> 4);

lambdaTest((args) -> 4);

lambdaTest((args) -> {

});
