I will elaborate on this a little more.
If, for instance, a source browser wants to get to
the definition of a symbol, then it doesnt matter
that there was a compilation error. The first (erroneous)
definition site would be emitted as an ASIS
record. However, if the type of an object
is required to be navigated to, then,
we need compilation artefacts(an ASIS binding
to an AST or some IL).
