Wouldn't it be awesome to have the lexing/parsing of the
imports all done in parallel? The main difficulty in getting
that to work is dealing with the shared string table.
What about creating a new Fiber for each module needing
lexing/parsing/semantic to be ran? Compilation of one module
would then get as far as it can until it needs to defer, then
calls yield() to continue compilation of the next module. This
in hope that when the round trip returns, the AST will be
sufficiently complete enough for compilation to continue.
