 Implement dynamic scope required by "with" (just like closures, but the activation doesn't need to be saved on return)

 For functions that don't use "with" and/or "catch" (and that don't require activation objects), just use the function's scope chain directly, instead of creating a meaningless copy that will never be modified.
 
+Evaluation of a script is supposed to produce a value. This requires storing the value of the last value-producing statement to execute. We need to detect the last top-level value-producing statement in a program, and save its value. Basically, that just means passing an explicit "dst" register to its emitCode function.
 
 Make const work -- const info has to go in the symbol table, so writes to const vars can turn to no-ops at compile time.
