typedefTab symbol table
Determines if type t is a function type.
Parameters:
AST.Type t type to test

Determine if id is a symbol for a Typedef.
Parameters:
Identifier id possible typedef
Returns:
true if id is a Type
void insertIdToTypedefTab(Identifier id);
Add id to typedefTab[], but only if it will mask an existing typedef.
Parameters:

Add id to typedefTab[]
Parameters:
Identifier id identifier for typedef symbol
AST.Type t type of the typedef symbol

#define Parser
Go through the #define's in the defines buffer and see what we can convert to Dsymbols, which are then appended to symbols[]
