+Typechecking is done in several phases:
+
+phase 1: declare all global objects; also collect all function and method declarations
+ - all objects have kind, name, decl fields; the decl field permits
+ quick lookup of an object's declaration
+ - constant objects have an iota value
+ - type objects have unresolved types with empty scopes, all others have nil types
+ - report global double declarations
+
+phase 2: bind methods to their receiver base types
+ - received base types must be declared in the package, thus for
+ each method a corresponding (unresolved) type must exist
+ - report method double declarations and errors with base types
+
+phase 3: resolve all global objects
+ - sequentially iterate through all objects in the global scope
+ - resolve types for all unresolved types and assign types to
+ all attached methods
+ - assign types to all other objects, possibly by evaluating
+ constant and initializer expressions
+ - resolution may recurse; a cyclemap is used to detect cycles
+ - report global typing errors
+
+phase 4: sequentially typecheck function and method bodies
+ - all global objects are declared and have types and values;
+ all methods have types
+ - sequentially process statements in each body; any object
+ referred to must be fully defined at this point
+ - report local typing errors
