I'm looking for ways to simplify the --emit-lua back end, and perhaps even move it to a separate tool instead of the Pallene compiler itself. The first step is to remove the feature of preserving comments inside type annotations that would be erased. It is not worth the complexity. 1. The lexer:next() used to return COMMENT tokens 2. The parser used to have to care about said COMMENT tokens 3. The comment_regions logic was subtle and needed many test cases.
