+#### Just a few remarks upfront:
+* There is the (gradle/IDEA) module `parser`: that's the parser generated by ANTLR4, in Java. The only file to be edited here is the grammar, `prog8.g4`.
+* Then we have the module `compilerAst` - in Kotlin - which uses `parser` and adds AST nodes. Here we put our additions to the generated thing, *including any tests of the parsing stage*.
+  - the name is a bit misleading, as this module isn't (or, resp. shouldn't be; see below) about *compiling*, only the parsing stage
+  - also, the tree that comes out isn't much of an *abstraction*, but rather still more or less a parse tree (this might very well change).
+  - **However, let's not *yet* rename the module.** We'll find a good name during refactoring.
+
+#### Problems with `compilerAst`:
+* `ModuleImporter.kt`, doing (Prog8-) module resolution. That's not the parser's job.
+* `ParsingFailedError` (in `ModuleParsing.kt`): this exception (it is actually *not* a `java.lang.Error`...) is thrown in a number of places, where other exceptions would make more sense. For example: not finding a file should just yield a `NoSuchFileException`, not this one. The other problem with it is that it does not provide any additional information about the source of parsing error, in particular a `Position`.
+* During parsing, character literals are turned into UBYTEs (since there is no basic type e.g. CHAR). That's bad because it depends on a specific character encoding (`IStringEncoding` in `compilerAst/src/prog8/ast/AstToplevel.kt`) of/for some target platform. Note that *strings* are indeed encoded later, in the `compiler` module.
+* The same argument applies to `IMemSizer`, and - not entirely sure about that - `IBuiltinFunctions`.
+
+#### Steps to take, in conceptual (!) order:
+
+(note: all these steps have been implemented, rejected or otherwise solved now.)
+
+1. introduce an abstraction `SourceCode` that encapsulates the origin and actual loading of Prog8 source code
+   - from the local file system (use case: user programs)
+   - from resources (prog8lib)
+   - from plain strings (for testing)
+2. add subclass `ParseError : ParsingFailedError` which adds information about the *source of parsing error* (`SourceCode` and `Position`). We cannot just replace `ParsingFailedError`  right away because it is so widely used (even in the `compiler` module). Therefore we'll just subclass for the time being, add more and more tests requiring the new one to be thrown (or, resp., NOT to be thrown), and gradually transition.
+3. introduce a minimal interface to the outside, input: `SourceCode`, output: a tree with a `Module` node as the root
+   - this will be the Kotlin singleton `Prog8Parser` with the main method `parseModule`
+   - plus, optionally, method's for registering/unregistering a listener with the parser
+   - the *only* exception ever thrown / reported to listeners (TBD) will be `ParseError`
+   - anything related to the lexer, error strategies, character/token streams is hidden from the outside
+   - to make a clear distinction between the *generated* parser (and lexer) vs. `Prog8Parser`, and to discourage directly using the generated stuff, we'll rename the existing `prog8Parser`/`prog8Lexer` to `Prog8ANTLRParser` and `Prog8ANTLRLexer` and move them to package `prog8.parser.generated`
+4. introduce AST node `CharLiteral` and keep them until after identifier resolution and type checking; insert there an AST transformation step that turns them in UBYTE constants (literals)
+5. remove uses of `IStringEncoding` from module `compilerAst` - none should be necessary anymore
+6. move `IStringEncoding` to module `compiler`
+7. same with `ModuleImporter`, then rewrite that (addressing #46)
+8. refactor AST nodes and grammar: less generated parse tree nodes (`XyzContext`), less intermediary stuff (private classes in `Antrl2Kotlin.kt`), more compact code. Also: nicer names such as simply `StringLiteral` instead of `StringLiteralValue`
+9. re-think `IStringEncoding` to address #38

 This is a structured programming language for the 8-bit 6502/6510/65c02 microprocessor from the late 1970's and 1980's
 as used in many home computers from that era. It is a medium to low level programming language,

-- big reduction of source code length over raw assembly
+- reduction of source code length over raw assembly
+- fast execution speed due to compilation to native assembly code. It's possible to write certain raster interrupt 'demoscene' effects purely in Prog8.
 - modularity, symbol scoping, subroutines
 - various data types other than just bytes (16-bit words, floats, strings)
-- automatic variable allocations, automatic string and array variables and string sharing
-- subroutines with an input- and output parameter signature
-- no stack frame allocations because parameters and local variables are automatically allocated statically
-- constant folding in expressions and other high-level program optimizations
+- floating point math is supported if the target system provides floating point library routines (C64 and Cx16 both do)
+- strings can contain escaped characters but also many symbols directly if they have a petscii equivalent, such as "♠♥♣♦π▚●○╳". Characters like ^, _, \, {, } and | are also accepted and converted to the closest petscii equivalents.
+- automatic static variable allocations, automatic string and array variables and string sharing
+- subroutines with input parameters and result values
+- high-level program optimizations
+- small program boilerplate/compilersupport overhead
+- programs can be run multiple times without reloading because of automatic variable (re)initializations.
 - conditional branches
-- floating point operations  (requires the C64 Basic ROM routines for this)
-- 'when' statement to provide a concise jump table alternative to if/elseif chains
-- many built-in functions such as ``sin``, ``cos``, ``rnd``, ``abs``, ``min``, ``max``, ``sqrt``, ``msb``, ``rol``, ``ror``, ``swap``, ``memset``, ``memcopy``, ``sort`` and ``reverse``
-- structs to group together sets of variables and manipulate them at once
+- ``when`` statement to provide a concise jump table alternative to if/elseif chains
+- ``in`` expression for concise and efficient multi-value/containment check 
+- many built-in functions such as ``sin``, ``cos``, ``rnd``, ``abs``, ``min``, ``max``, ``sqrt``, ``msb``, ``rol``, ``ror``, ``swap``, ``sort`` and ``reverse``
+- various powerful built-in libraries to do I/O, number conversions, graphics and more  
 - convenience abstractions for low level aspects such as ZeroPage handling, program startup, explicit memory addresses
-- fast execution speed due to compilation to native assembly code
 - inline assembly allows you to have full control when every cycle or byte matters
+- supports the sixteen 'virtual' 16-bit registers R0 - R15 from the Commander X16, and provides them also on the C64.
