Kinds

To provide a type-stable parser, we handle types ourselves. This is directly inspired by JuliaSyntax.jl. See here

You can see kinds as an advanced Enum type that allows some kind of grouping of values. We use Kinds.Kind to classify the different types of tokens ast nodes.

All the defined kind names.
