Top-of-file license comment should be output before helpers and IIFE

Currently a license comment like `/*! blah */` is output after the helpers, and it shouldn't be as long as it's the first thing in the source.

Allow for assign-aware and return-aware macros

If a macro were aware that it were being assigned to an immutable variable or being returned, then it could not make `tmp` variables e.g. ``` let q = for...

Walk-through tutorial

It could be handy to have a tutorial with a REPL that teaches the user how to code in GorillaScript.

Ability to render code without helpers, but know which were requested

It would be handy for code examples to not have a million helpers splayed at the top, but still know which ones were used. Also, this could somehow be used...

Allow parsing of "GSON", a superset of JSON

It could be useful to be able to parse "GSON", which would be a superset of JSON except that it supports GorillaScript syntax instead. Could be handy for configuration files....

Currently `-x^y` parses as `(-x)^y` rather than `-(x^y)`, which is the mathematically correct one.

Allow (certain) options to be specified at the top of a file to alter compilation.

documentation

Allow an option to have generators turn into function*() { yield; } instead of custom state machines.

Since generators are going into V8, once node supports them in the current version, there should be a way to have GorillaScript compile ES6-syntax generators instead of the state machines...
