/**
* Utilities for parsing, extracting, and compiling CashAssembly expressions.
*
* CashAssembly is the scripting language used by Bitauth templates to describe Bitcoin Cash
* locking and unlocking scripts.
*
* ## Syntax (CashAssembly)
*
* `<expression>` is a push statement. Compiles the contents and pushes the result onto the VM stack.
* For example `<someKey.public_key>` pushes the 33 byte compressed public key and `<1>` pushes the integer 1.
*
* `$(<expression>)` is an evaluation. Runs the inner script in the VM and inserts the top stack
* item as VM bytecode.
* For example `$(<someKey.public_key> OP_HASH160)` inserts the HASH160 of the public key.
*
* `<$(<expression>)>` is a push of an evaluation result. It evaluates first then pushes.
* For example a P2PKH locking script looks like
* `OP_DUP OP_HASH160 <$(<someKey.public_key> OP_HASH160)> OP_EQUALVERIFY OP_CHECKSIG`.
*
* `variableId.operation` is a variable with a compiler resolved operation.
* For example `someKey.public_key` produces the public key bytes and
* `someKey.schnorr_signature.all_outputs` produces a Schnorr signature.
*
* Opcodes (`OP_DUP`, `OP_HASH160`, and similar) are inserted as their bytecode equivalent directly.
*
* ## Name resolution priority (CashAssembly)
*
* When the compiler encounters an identifier it resolves it in this order.
* 1. Opcode always wins. For example naming a variable or script `OP_ADD` will not shadow it.
* 2. Variable shadows scripts of the same name.
* 3. Script is the script's bytecode.
*
* ## Resolution Order (CashAssembly + Primitive Method Resolution)
*
* Supported `<base.method>` pushes are resolved to bytes before CashAssembly compiles.
* Inside CashAssembly the order is Opcode then Variable then Script.
*
* ## This compile path
*
* This file is a layer on CashAssembly. Text outside `$()` is kept. Only `$()` is compiled.
* For example `Paid $(scriptA) of $(scriptB)` keeps the words Paid and of.
*
* `$()` is found by scanning left to right with parenthesis matching by depth count. Quoted strings
* and comments are skipped so a `)` there cannot end `$()`. Nested `$()` stay inside the outer
* evaluation. That text is never passed to parseScript.
*
* Empty `$()` still uses this mixed path. When the string contains no `$()` at all, the entire
* string is compiled as CashAssembly so push opcodes remain.
