Moving to a hand-written parser made GCC faster, more flexible and provides better diagnostics:

Further tinkering with diagnostics, following feedback!
* Two lines of context above and below now.
* The caret is included in the line below where possible.
* Syntax highlighting of keywords.
I kinda feel that smart context sizing would be better. What do you think so far?
I'm experimenting with diagnostics formatting.
* I've added a left margin, showing both the file name and line numbers
* I'm showing one line of context above/below the offending line.
* I'm using grey for comments.
What do you think? Is there anything you'd change?
Doing another iteration on my diagnostics display. I'm reasonably happy with the bold highlighting within the error message.
I'm not sure about the colour on Warning and Error though. It gives the output some visual structure, but arguably the message itself is more important.
