Thanks for the patches!

I cherry-picked the relevant work to master. It's a cool compiler! And,
it brought out some other bugs that I had been meaning to fix.

I added a Tree-IL compiler, because I thought it would be more
illustrative. Then I fixed some repl bugs so that brainfuck can be
compiled with `,c', and input works now too.

I'm still not happy with the generated code (produced by the
tree-il->glil compiler), but I think I have some ideas about how to make
that better.

But for now:

    Enter `,help' for help.
