Bug 1032805 was about
deferring syntax errors to runtime.
It's fixed now, but the issue is
actually far more general.

All errors detected at compile
time should have their reporting
deferred to runtime, mostly because
by the time runtime comes around,.
the state of the interp may have changed
so that there's no longer an error to report.

Here's a big patch that puts an
end to all error reporting at compile time.

The patch also includes a good amount
of code reduction.  When there's no
longer such a thing as a compile time
error, lots of code that exists only to
originate, pass through, detect and
report such errors can all be eliminated.
