v0.2.0 Release Highlights
Introduced the `set` keyword as a unified binding token to handle variable definitions and reassignments inside local lexical environment frames.
Fully implemented environments stack nesting. Spells successfully preserve a link to the environment frame where they are declared, allowing closures like `make_adder` to resolve parent parameters safely.
Added `skip` and `stop` keyword operators to provide clean loop skipping and early loop exits inside all loop variations (`while`, `repeat`, `count`).
