The saw_eol variable in Class_Statements() was initialized to true and
only ever set back to true, making the "missing line separator" check
unreachable. The fix separates Def (block statement ending with }) from
Var_Decl (simple statement) so that Var_Decl sets saw_eol to false,
matching the pattern used in Statements() for simple expressions.

* Fix#256: Expose get_function_objects() and get_scripting_objects() in public API
The ChaiScript_Basic public API only exposed get_locals() for inspecting
runtime state from C++, requiring users to work around this via
chai.eval("get_functions()") to access function objects. Added
get_function_objects() and get_scripting_objects() as public methods on
ChaiScript_Basic, delegating to the existing Dispatch_Engine methods,
matching the pattern already used by get_locals().

* Fix#17: Add const local variable support to ChaiScript
Adds `const var`, `const auto`, and `const` as variable declaration
syntax that creates immutable local variables. A const_override flag
on Boxed_Value enables script-level constness without changing the
C++ type system integration. The parser, optimizer, and evaluator
are extended with Const_Var_Decl and Const_Assign_Decl AST nodes
that mirror their non-const counterparts but mark the value as const
after initialization.

* Address review: remove const_override, set const flag directly on Type_Info
Replace the m_const_override bool on Boxed_Value::Data with a
Type_Info::make_const() method that sets the const bit in m_flags
directly. This ensures constness is visible everywhere consistently,
including places that check get_type_info().is_const() directly.

Convert \u escape sequences to proper UTF-8 characters instead of
passing through the literal \u notation. Supports the full BMP range
with correct 1, 2, 3, and 4-byte UTF-8 encoding.
Based on PR #483 by @olikraus, rebased onto current develop.

* Fix#201: Add class inheritance support with Derived : Base syntax
Classes can now inherit methods and attributes from a base class using
C++-style syntax: `class Derived : Base { ... }`. Base class methods and
attributes are automatically available on derived objects. Derived classes
can override base methods by defining a method with the same name.
Inheritance relationships are tracked to support proper type matching
in the dispatch system.

* Address review: use implicit derived-to-base matching instead of copying base class functions
Instead of copying all base class methods/attributes into derived classes,
make the type matching system recognize inheritance relationships. Base class
methods now naturally match derived objects through dynamic_object_typename_match,
and dispatch ordering ensures derived overrides are preferred over base methods.
This is simpler (net -25 lines) and avoids duplicating function registrations.

* Add tests for passing derived objects to functions expecting Base
Tests cover: free functions calling base methods on derived objects,
polymorphic dispatch through containers, base attribute access on
derived objects, and multi-level inheritance (GrandChild : Derived : Base).

* Add typed parameter tests for class inheritance
Use typed function signatures (e.g., `def call_do_something(Base obj)`)
instead of untyped parameters to test that derived objects are accepted
by functions expecting a base type, with correct polymorphic dispatch.

Add both a compiled C++ test (with registered type_conversion) and a
pure ChaiScript test (with dynamic objects and custom == operator) to
verify that switch case comparisons properly manage object lifetimes.

Add Function_Push_Pop to Switch_AST_Node case comparison to properly
manage the lifetime of temporaries created during type conversions.
Make Binary_Operator_AST_Node::do_oper static and public so it can be
reused by Switch_AST_Node for case equality checks, ensuring consistent
lifetime management across all operator invocations.

The cheatsheet's "ChaiScript Defined Types" section was minimal, showing only
a basic class with one attribute and a getter. Expanded it to document block
syntax, open syntax, attribute keywords (var/attr/auto), constructor and method
guards, operator overloading, cloning, and added a test exercising all examples.

Add C++11-style raw string literals (R"delimiter(content)delimiter") to
ChaiScript. Raw strings do not process escape sequences or perform string
interpolation, solving the issue where base85 encoded data containing ${
sequences would trigger unwanted instring_eval. The implementation adds
Raw_String_() and Raw_String() parser functions and hooks them into the
expression parser.

Add comprehensive reflection documentation to cheatsheet.md covering type
inspection, object methods, Type_Info, function introspection, system
introspection, and Dynamic_Object reflection. Add missing global reflection
functions (type_name, is_type, function_exists, get_functions, get_objects,
type, dump_system, dump_object) and is_type_arithmetic to the Doxygen
prelude docs. Include a thorough test exercising all documented features.

Fix this by replacing the lambda with a simple ternary operator
expression.
ChaiScript inherits from ChaiScript_Basic, so this is good practice.
I also need to be able to inherit from ChaiScript and dynamic cast, which is impossible without this destructor.
