This build keeps backward compatibility at %99.9999

What Changed?

1. Found and fixed 3 points where the compiler would appear to lock up.
2. Extended $X+ to enable support for:
2a. the RESULT keyword.
2b. the use of Exit(Result).
2c. Support for modern // line comments.
3. Improved the overall compiler performance.
4. Integer Code Folding. (If it finds, for example, 3+5 in the source, it is replaced with 5).
5. Boolean Code Folding.
6. Peephole optimization

Peephole optimization is a compiler technique that scans a small "window" or "peephole" of machine code, replacing inefficient instruction sequences with shorter, faster, or simpler ones that achieve the same result.

During Christmas, Santa (me) was very busy...

New Command Switch/Compiler Directive:
$C+ Turns on IEEE error checking for constants.
$XI+ Turns on support for inline keyword.

[*] the compiler will perform rigorous checks to ensure that floating-point constants adhere strictly to the rules and precision requirements defined by the IEEE 754 standard.
