Added string interpolation helper routines in parserutils
Added a proof-of-concept string interpolation user-land macros (currently, only as a test case):
the interpolated expression could either be transformed to
concat("literal string ", $(interpolated), " end") or
"literal string $1 end" % [$(interpolated)]
Added a very initial definition of Optional[T] generic type
A new overload of ParseIdent was added in hope to get around the fact that the
old one doesn't work correctly in macros, but the problem persists.

Nimrod Compiler
===========================================================
This is the **Nimrod Compiler**. Nimrod is a new statically typed, imperative
programming language, that supports procedural, functional, object oriented and
generic programming styles while remaining simple and efficient. A special
feature that Nimrod inherited from Lisp is that Nimrod's abstract syntax tree
(AST) is part of the specification - this allows a powerful macro system which
can be used to create domain specific languages.
*Nimrod* is a compiled, garbage-collected systems programming language
which has an excellent productivity/performance ratio. Nimrod's design
focuses on the 3E: efficiency, expressiveness, elegance (in the order of
priority).
See the file ``install.txt`` for installation instructions. See the file
``doc/intern.txt`` for the internal documentation for developers.
