### Editor is for editing a series of files based on a set of requests provided to it
**Note: Not implemented yet**
* The purpose is to overrite a specific file, it places its contents in a buffer to scan.
* Requests are populated using the following interface:
* add : Add code.

### Scanner allows the user to generate Code ASTs by reading files
**Note: Not implemented yet**
* The purpose is to grab definitions to generate metadata or generate new code from these definitions.
* Requests are populated using the add( SymbolInfo, Policy ) function. The symbol info is the same as the one used for the editor. So is the case with Policy.

* Make a more robust test suite.
* Generate a single-header library.
* Improve the allocation strategy for strings in `Builder`, `AST::to_string`, `Parser::lex`, all three can use some form of slab allocation strategy...
* Can most likely use a simple slag allocator.
* May be in need of a better name, I found a few repos with this same one...
* Support module and attribute parsing (Marked with TODOs for now..)
* Suffix specifiers for functions (const, override, final)
* Implement the Scanner

* `GEN_FEATURE_EDITOR` : Defines the file editing features for changing definitions based on ASTs
* `GEN_FEATURE_SCANNER` : Defines the file scanning features for generating ASTs
`GEN_USE_RECURSIVE_AST_DUPLICATION` is available but its not well tested and should not need to be used.
If constructing ASTs properly. There should be no modification of ASTs, and thus this would never become an issue.
Due to the design of `gen.hpp` to support being written alongside runtime intended code (in the same file), all the code is wrapped in a `gen_time` `#ifdef` and then wrapped further in a `gen` namespace to avoid pollution of the global scope.
*Note: Its possible with the scanner feature to support parsing runtime files that use "generic" macros or identifiers with certain patterns.
