birth: Remove XXX about hitting stack limits
That's no longer a problem; missed this comment.

* birth.scm (sexp->es): Remove XXX.

birth,prebirth: Non-recursive lexing to prevent stack exhaustion
This needs to run in the browser too, where we have no control over stack
limits.

* build-aux/bootstrap/birth.scm
  (lex): Non-recursive strategy (loop with mutable list).
  (make-token): Update doc.  Produce list of token, new string, and
    position.  Don't recurse.
  (body->es): Add `ret' param.  Only produce `return' statement if new param
    is set.
  (cdfn): Use it.
  (fnmap)
    [js:while, js:break]: Add forms.
    [lambda, let, case]: Use new `body->es' `ret' param.
    [let*]: Define JS variables in output using `let' instead of `const' to
      permit mutating with new `set!' form.  Use new `body->es' `ret' param.
    [set!]: Add form.
  (prebirth->ecmascript): Adjust libprebirth path to be relative to self.

* build-aux/bootstrap/libprebirth.js
  ($$append$b$): Add `append!' procedure.
  ($$js$regexp, $$js$match, $$js$replace): Move a few lines up.
  (fs): Provide stub if `require' is not defined.

* build-aux/bootstrap/prebirth.js
  (_lex): Non-recursive strategy (loop with array-appending).
  (_token): No more mutual recursion with `#_lex'.  Return new string
    and position.
  (_bodyToEs): Add `ret' param.  Only produce `return' statement if new
    param is set.
  (fnmap) [js:while, js:break]: Add forms.
    [let*]: Define JS variables in output using `let' instead of `const' to
      permit mutating with new `set!' form.  Use new `body->es' `ret' param.
    [set!]: Add form.

birth: Prebirth self-hosting
This completes bootstrapping for Prebirth Lisp.  The next step will be
Rebirth, which will replace libprebirth.js, removing hand-written JavaScript
entirely.

birth: AST generation
Just about ready for that sloppy code generation!

* build-aux/bootstrap/birth.scm: Update file header documentation.
  Add some whitespace between existing procedures.
  Invoke `parse-lisp' as the program in place of `lex', producing an AST as
    output to the console.
  (cadddr): Add procedure.
  (token-{type,lexeme,value,pos}): Add procedures.
  (parse-lisp): Add procedure (contains other procedures).
* build-aux/bootstrap/libprebirth.js
  ($$append): Add function (append).
  ($$$_$): Correct implementation (-).
  ($$zero$7$): Add predicate (zero?).
  ($$fold): Add function (fold).
* build-aux/bootstrap/prebirth.js (parseLisp): Lowercase some errors.
  (Compiler): Update class docblock.
  (fnmap)[labmda]: Add `lambda' form.

birth: Include pos and window in lexing error
Analog to prelude.js's `Parser#_error'.

* build-aux/bootstrap/birth.scm (parse-error): Add procedure.
  (lex): Use it for string error.

birth: Add birth.scm, which can parse itself and output a CST
Exciting first step!  Though it required a much more complicated Prebirth
Lisp than I was hoping to create.  And I never intended to go into a full
Scheme implementation, but that's the route this is headed in.  I just can't
stomach creating this full system in a block language.

With that said, the block language will still be able to work with all Lisp
code; you'll see.

* build-aux/bootstrap/birth.scm: Add beginning of Birth, capable of parsing
    itself!  Baby steps!
