Initial release.
All of the core logic is based off of a program called cdecl, which has existed in one form or another for over 30 years. The version included in this extension is available at wasabifan/cdecl-blocks-js which is a lightly-modified fork of ridiculousfish/cdecl-blocks. The modifications included are to enable cdecl to be compiled into JavaScript using Emscripten for hosting within the extension. The "binary" cdecl engine is checked into this repo as out/cdecl.js and should not be modified manually.
Build and debug tasks will be picked up automatically after opening the repo in VSCode. You will need to run npm install once before building.
