it seems we can fix this by changing which side
gets subtracted by 1 depending on the op associativity.
BinOp::Or & BinOp::And are right associative while the
other bin ops are left associative.

Bumped into this randomly. We do correctly parse escape sequence, but
the format would simply but the unescaped string back on save. Now it
properly re-escapes strings before flushing them back. I also removed
the escape sequence for 'backspace' and 'new page' form feed as I
don't see any use case for those in an Aiken program really...
Isolated doc comments causes the compiler to panic with:
```
'no consecutive empty lines'
```
This is reproducible when doc comments are wrapped in sandwich between
comments and newlines.
This leads to more consistent formatting across entire Aiken programs.
Before that commit, only long expressions would be formatted on a
newline, causing non-consistent formatting and additional reading
barrier when looking at source code.
Programs also now take more vertical space, which is better for more
friendly diffing in version control systems (especially git).
Rules are now as follows:
- If a pipeline contains a newline, then the entire pipeline is formatted over multiple lines.
- If it doesn't, then it's formatted as a single-line UNLESS it cannot fit; in which case, we fallback to multiline again.
This has been bothering me and the more I thought of it the more I
disliked the idea of a warning. The rationale being that in this very
context, there's absolutely no ambiguity. So it is only frustrating
that the parser is even able to make the exact suggestion of what
should be fixed, but still fails.
I can imagine it is going to be very common for people to type:
```
trace "foo"
```
...yet terribly frustrating if they have to remember each time that
this should actually be a string. Because of the `trace`, `todo` and
`error` keywords, we know exactly the surrounding context and what to
expect here. So we can work it nicely.
However, the formatter will re-format it to:
```
trace @"foo"
```
Just for the sake of remaining consistent with the type-system. This
way, we still only manipulate `String` in the AST, but we conveniently
parse a double-quote utf-8 literal when coupled with one of the
specific keywords.
I believe that's the best of both worlds.
The core observation is that **in the context of Aiken** (i.e. on-chain logic)
people do not generally want to use String. Instead, they want
bytearrays.
So, it should be easy to produce bytearrays when needed and it should
be the default. Before this commit, `"foo"` would parse as a `String`.
Now, it parses as a `ByteArray`, whose bytes are the UTF-8 bytes
encoding of "foo".
Now, to make this change really "fool-proof", we now want to:
- [ ] Emit a parse error if we parse a UTF-8 bytearray literal in
place where we would expect a `String`. For example, `trace`,
`error` and `todo` can only be followed by a `String`.
So when we see something like:
```
trace "foo"
```
we know it's a mistake and we can suggest users to use:
```
trace @"foo"
```
instead.
- [ ] Emit a warning if we ever see a bytearray literals UTF-8, which
is either 56 or 64 character long and is a valid hexadecimal string.
For example:
```
let policy_id = "29d222ce763455e3d7a09a665ce554f00ac89d2e99a1a83d267170c6"
```
This is _most certainly_ a mistake, as this generates a ByteArray of
56 bytes, which is effectively the hex-encoding of the provided string.
In this scenario, we want to warn the user and inform them they probably meant to use:
```
let policy_id = #"29d222ce763455e3d7a09a665ce554f00ac89d2e99a1a83d267170c6"
```
Interestingly enough, chumsky seems to fail when given a 'choice' with
more than 25 elements. That's why this commit groups together some of
the choices as another nested 'choice'.
