Description:

a new correction scheme.

Previously, there were only 2 hardcoded interactive corrections possible when
the compiler had a correctbleError to report (declare as and correct).
The use was asked via the correctableError: message (to the requestor),
which had to return a symbol.

Now, we move to a more flexible correction scheme, where the parser provides a list
of plausible corrections as a collection of operations (actually class instances),
which provide button labels (and possibly addition information in the future).

Also, the correction object is supposed (in the future) to do the correction, so those
operations are to be moved out of the compiler.
