Richard Smith 48d5b18026 Initial rough framework for specification. (#140 )

Provide an initial rough structure for the specification so we can add things
as they are decided.

Split the specification into a language and a library section. In the language
section, use one file per broad area of functionality. Divide the language up
based on the intended layering of the language design.

Names

TODO

Names

A name is an identifier. Two names are the same if they comprise the same sequence of Unicode code points.

TODO: Normalization?

Scopes

A scope is one of:
- The top level in a source file.
- A pattern scope.
- A block scope.
- A type definition.
Every construct that declares a name binds the name to the declared entity within the innermost enclosing scope.

Unqualified name lookup

Unqualified name lookup associates a name with an entity. The associated entity is the entity to which the name is bound in the innermost enclosing scope in which the name is bound.
