Structure of Calcium code

Each line is represented as a JSON array. Elements are:

[
	1,   // number: block level (= indentation in Python)
	[],  // any: an arbitrary field (for extensions)
	"=", // string: command name (type of statement)
	..., // any: command-specific arguments
]

For example, the following Calcium code:

[
	[1, [], "#", "0.4.3"],
	[1, [], "=", ["var", "x"], ["num", "42"]],
	[1, [], "expr", ["call", ["var", "print"], [["var", "x"]]]],
	[1, [], "end"],
]

corresponds to this Python code:

x = 42
print(x)
