Methods

Name	Description
`onImport` (m)	A callback function that is called once an imported module is parsed. If the callback returns true, then it tells the frontend that the driver intends on compiling the import.
`onParseModule` (m)	For the given module, perform any post parsing analysis. Certain compiler backends (ie: GDC) have special placeholder modules whose source are empty, but code gets injected immediately after loading.
`paintAsType` (pue, e, type)	Encode the given expression, which is assumed to be an rvalue literal as another type for use in CTFE. This corresponds roughly to the idiom (Type )&e.
