Documentation and Example needed: How to compile an AST to javascript or java bytecode.

[welopino]

Please provide documentation and example on how to perform an AST transformation within the normal process of parsing, typechecking, optimizing and bytecode generation - most importantly on how to feed an AST into typechecking and compilation. [With compilation I mean javascript or bytecode generation]

Well, I’ve never compiled a ceylon.ast AST to CAR or JS before, so I can’t tell you how to do this yet… there’s a test that feeds two compilation units into the typechecker (powerOfTwo.ceylon), but I haven’t tried to hook that up to a backend yet. If you figure out how to do it, please let me know and I’ll be happy to add the documentation :)
