Annotated Python Dialect for Multi-Target Transpilation

Rules

1. All variables must be 'declared' in annotations, e.g.

   '''@t : float'''

   1. Optional comments can be included after '|', e.g.

   '''@t : float | time stamp'''

2. Python docstrings using double quotes '"""' are copied/transliterated to the generated target sources

3. Class and function docstrings must immediately follow the declaration with the exception of 'def init' docstrings which must follow any 'super' statement.

4. References to .shape elements are generally transpiled to unsigned values in target languages. Cast them using int() when using as int values.

5. Python negative array references should not be used.

   1. Instead of A[-1] use A[A.shape[0]-1]
