> This patch is a stripped-down version of review #117458. It changes ExpressionVisitor and ContextBuilder::findType in order to use the same architecture as the one used by Ruby. As Javascript expressions can contain declarations (for instance in "var c = function() { var b = 5; return b; }"), ExpressionVisitor can have problems finding the type of such expressions. By first letting DeclarationBuilder recurse in the expression (and build every declaration it encounters), ExpressionVisitor becomes able to see them and to return their type. ExpressionVisitor is also changed to stop visiting nodes the first time it encounters a type it can deduce, as there is no need to recurse all the way to the bottom of very long JS expressions.

This patch also moves code around and improves how double and int numbers are differentiated. I've put these cleanups in this patch because it already rewrites most of ExpressionVisitor, and the next patches are easier to understand if they don't move anything and just add methods.
