  1. There was no need to introduce a new visitor pass. The existing visitor passes were introduced because some things cannot be done in a single pass, this error can be reported as early as possible.

Fixed unused variable warning in blocks.rs*

  1. That file was auto-generated from gdsl.txt, the unused parameter will be re-introduced the next time I run gdsl.py, so don't make changes that would pollute the git diff.

I'd rather you not generate code using LLMs. Atleast check once before you commit, put some effort in it.

I'm being pedantic here, but annoys me that this is below the "catch-all" match arm.

This test does not even work. Did you even run tests before committing?

This is not valid goboscript syntax, did you even read the documentation? Again, the tests will not pass. Compiling single-files is not supported.

This will still cause a panic. The original issue in question is not even fixed.

This is fine, just move it inside one of the existing passes, preferably somewhere that already has relevant error reporting.
