* Do not report export collision errors until the very end, because it
is possible, during an update, for a new export to be added before an
old one is semantically analyzed to be deleted. In such a case there
should be no compile error.
- Likewise we defer emitting exports until the end when we know for
sure what will happen.
* Sema: Fix not adding a Decl dependency on imported files.
* Sema: Properly add Decl dependencies for all identifier and namespace
lookups.
* After semantic analysis for a Decl, if it is still marked as
`in_progress`, change it to `dependency_failure` because if the Decl
itself failed, it would have already been changed during the call to
add the compile error.

License
The ultimate goal of the Zig project is to serve users. As a first-order effect, this means users of the compiler, helping programmers to write better software. Even more important, however, are the end-users.
Zig is intended to be used to help end-users accomplish their goals. Zig should be used to empower end-users, never to exploit them financially, or to limit their freedom to interact with hardware or software in any way.
However, such problems are best solved with social norms, not with software licenses. Any attempt to complicate the software license of Zig would risk compromising the value Zig provides.
Therefore, Zig is available under the MIT (Expat) License, and comes with a humble request: use it to make software better serve the needs of end-users.
This project redistributes code from other projects, some of which have other licenses besides MIT. Such licenses are generally similar to the MIT license for practical purposes. See the subdirectories and files inside lib/ for more details.
