The current plan is to compile the scene script directly into bytecode
for a virtual machine, and only then actually start executing it. The VM
will most certainly be a pre-existing one, most likely LLVM, giving us
access to optimization, JIT-compilation and the like at virtually no
implementation effort on our part.

As for a 4-level parser, I suspect that would add unreasonable
complexity to the whole thing. It might be justified if we had a team of
half a dozen people working on the parser alone, but at present I don't
see that happening anytime soon.
