Progress on strip_formatting function, support for multi-dimentional array variables and typenames.

strip_formatting suffers from some edge failure with what looks to be escaped character literals (not entirely sure).

I've decided to not remove formatting from unvalidated function bodies since I plan to support parsing its content properly.
However expression values for a statement will fail to have their formatting removed with this.

Since I don't plan to parse those anytime soon, I'll have to fix any edge cases for those at least..
