Right. So, after I removed some small bugs it's time to overhaul the environment data structure I use. For one, I realized I wasn't being very smart about semantic analysis and I knew that the way I represented namespaces (basically a flat list of declarations) would give me back quadratic behavior.

I did some testing on a medium sized file (34k lines,  114k words, 608k characters) containing 6k namespace declarations. Profiling indeed gave me back around 30 seconds of wasted time.

Each sample counts as 0.01 seconds.

Which, well, won't do, two orders off. Time to refactor this for performance now, which probably means a bit of a dirty solution. I'll take a day or two for this.
