New description:

 Modify error handling in the compiler to catch errors and continue
 whatever compilation pass is currently running. This should probably not
 apply to optimization stages, but for example: reading, canonicalization,
 scrutiny. Restarting the current pass for the next toplevel expression
 should be ok.

 In other words: continue as long as possible instead of stopping on the
 first error.
