Finish up the cli driver

 I don't really feel like maintaining it. And GNU Bison is like right there. If I can write a cfg for my little language
 here I'll switch. I also can't shake the feeling that this is over-engineered, and I really don't need a parser for all this, but
 oh well. I could probably do it all with just lex actually. Maybe I need to spend some time rethinking this.

+Okay I decided to just power through, and I finished the CLI version, which I'll be committing with this update. I did write a CFG
+however I realized that since this isn't a programming language an LR parser isn't exactly right. I made the right choice with the
+PEG, I just need better tooling. Anyway the immediate problem that I was having was that I assumed that semantic actions following
+an optional term in leg would be run with a null pointer or not be run at all, but it turns out you need to wrap the semantic
+action in the optional as well. Oh well lesson learned. Maybe some day I'll write my own.
+
+Next up is definitely the Godot Native module. I've already read a bit about how to do it, but I know there will be a few hitches
+here and there. Also I want to convert the base module to use entirely c++ semantics, with the exception of printf since I'm not
+sure if there is a c++ parallel, which is a bit odd. C++ is weird, no wonder I've avoided using it until now. It seems like c++
+developers spend a lot of time coming up with new ways to do things, then declaring them unidomatic and banning them. I guess
+that's kind of a trend with higher level languages as they get older cough Java cough. Regardless, I need to learn it and this
+is as good of a project as any.
+
+Also I still haven't mentioned to Pam I was doing this. Hope that's not a problem...
