GrammarMetadata Type
Additional information about a grammar to be built.
Each DesigntimeFarkle has one, but the metadata object that will be taken into consideration when building will be the one belonging to the topmost designtime Farkle, on which a build function was called. An exception is made for the operator scopes, which are found in all designtime Farkles of a grammar.
