/** Custom Compiler with phases for the documentation tool
 *
 *  The idea here is to structure `dottydoc` around the new infrastructure. As
 *  such, dottydoc will itself be a compiler. It will, however, produce a format
 *  that can be used by other tools or web-browsers.
 *
 *  Example:
 *  1. Use the existing FrontEnd to typecheck the code being fed to dottydoc,
 *     wihtout discarding AnyVal interfaces
 *  2. Create an AST that is serializable
 *  3. Serialize to JS object
