Playing with the QML/JS plugin

[Denis Steckelmacher]

Hi,

I'll rebase my code on master (that is to say, using ExpressionVisitor). 
Now that I understand how types are created and assigned, where contexts 
must be opened and closed, etc, I will try to follow the "standard" 
architecture for my code.

I'll also try to add some sort of caching in ExpressionVisitor (maybe by 
keeping the QHash<Node, AbstractType::Ptr> of ParseSession), in order to 
have its nice look-ahead behavior while keeping a O(n) complexity (it's 
very important for Javascript, as there are very big files like jQuery 
that use nested functions and expressions everywhere)

Wonderful. This and the fact that the type of a declaration can be 
changed allow many interesting on which I will work in the coming days! 
I'm starting to very much like developing language support plugins!
