 ====
 
 - check the various math routines that are marked TODO in prog8_lib.asm for correctness...
+- see if we can group some errors together for instance the (now single) errors about unidentified symbols
+- Cx16 target: support full-screen 640x480 and 320x240 graphics? That requires our own custom graphics routines though to draw lines.
 - make it possible to use cpu opcodes such as 'nop' as variable names by prefixing all asm vars with something such as '_'
 - option to load the built-in library files from a directory instead of the embedded ones (for easier library development/debugging)
-- see if we can group some errors together for instance the (now single) errors about unidentified symbols
 - use VIC banking to move up the graphics bitmap memory location. Move it to $e000 under the kernal rom?
 - some support for recursive subroutines?
     - via %option recursive?: allocate all params and local vars on estack, don't allow nested subroutines, can begin by first not allowing any local variables just fixing the parameters
