Currently, certain syntax constructs have to be parsed as AmbiguousBlockItem, and then resolved in emit time.

I don't like the current solution (since it introduces a lot of noise into the code), and would like to see a more clean solution. At least, let's get rid of these ugly direct type casts somehow.

See // TODO[#115] in the code to find the related issues.

See also: a dicsussion LanguageDev/Yoakke#139 which lead to the current solution.
