This ensures reusability for functions/variables that may have been outside a block, but end up
inside one afterwards. It also ensure the same tree is produced when incremental parsing.
i.e. if you have:
declare function F() { }
And you add a { above it, then we current have an incremental parsing bug. Namely we would see
a FunctionDeclaration node and say 'yes, we can reuse that node while parsing the block'. This
is currently broken because the normal parse would not have normally accepted such a node (because
of the modifiers).
This was an example of contextual parsing of the same kind of node. Something which we do not
want to do if we want incremental parsing to work properly.
TypeScript
TypeScript is a language for application-scale JavaScript. TypeScript adds optional types, classes, and modules to JavaScript. TypeScript supports tools for large-scale JavaScript applications for any browser, for any host, on any OS. TypeScript compiles to readable, standards-based JavaScript. Try it out at the playground, and stay up to date via our blog and twitter account.

Building
In order to build the TypeScript compiler, ensure that you have Git and Node.js installed.
Clone a copy of the repo:
git clone https://github.com/Microsoft/TypeScript.git
Change to the TypeScript directory:
cd TypeScript
Install Jake tools and dev dependencies:
npm install -g jake
npm install
Use one of the following to build and test:
jake local # Build the compiler into built/local
jake clean # Delete the built compiler
jake LKG # Replace the last known good with the built one.
# Bootstrapping step to be executed when the built compiler reaches a stable state.
jake tests # Build the test infrastructure using the built compiler.
jake runtests # Run tests using the built compiler and test infrastructure.
# You can override the host or specify a test for this command.
# Use host=<hostName> or tests=<testPath>.
jake runtests-browser # Runs the tests using the built run.js file. Syntax is jake runtests. Optional
parameters 'host=', 'tests=[regex], reporter=[list|spec|json|<more>]'.
jake baseline-accept # This replaces the baseline test results with the results obtained from jake runtests.
jake -T # List the above commands.
Usage
node built/local/tsc.js hello.ts
