OK.. this is a bit raw, but it's stable and already far too useful not to 
commit.

What it does is leverage Davids code completion work to display the type of 
the identifier currently under the cursor in the statusbar. For most things 
it works amazingly well already. For some cases the type isn't computed at 
all. Play with it a bit and it will quickly become apparent what works and 
what doesn't. 

In addition to hopefully fixing the failing cases, what we maybe need is to 
figure out the display format (and implement it), what is currently displayed 
is a bit unorthodox.

(David, I hope you're ok with me removing the diagnostic output you wrote to 
the statusbar during parsing.. It interfered with the typeinfo and was, imho, 
not all that useful to a user anyway.)

Btw (since it's code completion related), as of last night the type context 
menu actually pops up when its shortcut is pressed (ctrl+alt+space) which is 
quite handy in tandem with the type info display. Also, the code completion 
based "jump to declaration" (ctrl+comma) and "jump to definition" 
(ctrl+period) are now also wired up.

A little surprise for 3.4.1. ;)
