Next Generation Compiler Collection

Data types:
		Source File
		AST (Abstract Syntax Tree)
		Intermediary (See: NgccIntermediary)
		Machine code
		Object File

C Flow:
		C Source
		AST
		Intermediary
		Assembler Source
		Machine Code
		Object File

Python Flow:
		Python Source
		AST
		Intermediary
		C Source

C Decompilation Flow:
		Object File
		Machine Code
		Intermediary
		C Source

Goals:
		Become a viable replacement for the existing GCC (Gnu Compiler Collection)
		Allow quick turnaround on new optimizations, even project-specific
		Promote experimentation with new compilation and decompilation methods
		Emphasize better output and ignore speed of compilation
		Become faster both in compile-time and run-time than competing compilers through self-hosting and optimizing
