#[ Second semantic checking pass over the AST. Necessary because the old
   way had some inherent problems. Performs:

* effect+exception tracking
* "usage before definition" checking
* also now calls the "lift destructor logic" at strategic positions, this
  is about to be put into the spec:

We treat assignment and sinks and destruction as identical.

In the construct let/var x = expr() x's type is marked.

In x = y the type of x is marked.

For every sink parameter of type T T is marked.

For every call f() the return type of f() is marked.
