                    How do I want to handle modules and imports?

    - Local modules are imported with a relative path.
    - Installed Modules (from package manager) are imported with a package name.

    - Modules Contain public and private functions. (public functions are exported with the keyword export)
    - Example: export function publicFunction() { ... }
    - Example: function privateFunction() { ... }

    (IDEA)
    - Can import a function from a module with the keyword include.
    - Example: include { publicFunction } = './module.dem'
    - Example: include { publicFunction } = 'module'
    
    - Imports are hoisted to the top of the file.
    - Imports are evaluated before the rest of the file.

    (IDEA)
    - Imports are cached. (If a module is imported twice, it will only be evaluated once.)

    (IDEA)
    - Imports can be aliased.
    - Example: include { publicFunction as alias } = './module.dem'

    (IDEA)
    Do we have GLOBALS & LOCALS (To be implemented if so)
    - Globals can be seen by all programs no matter what
    - Locals can be seen by 1 program by defining or importing
    - Local scope = program file
    - Global scope = all programs
    - Globals also import default imports (eg, stdio, stdlib, math, time)
    - Exports are added to an array of Demi variables which can be appended onto the programs locals after importing
