 Do all the steps of step 1 again in language N as nicely as possible.
 Introduce new elements to N (and thus to the N to O translator as needed).

 built on as many systems as possible. The goal is that N is self-hosting

+all allocation on stack might not be the best idea..
+..we allocate all symbols with their type, we must split symbols and
+types. Variables point to their defined type, parameters in a function
+to local variables (or variables of the upper scope in case of a VAR
+parameter), names in a record type definition to symbols agains, which
+point to types.
+This also means we usually get a global namespace this way, so a variable
+'a', a type 'a' and a procedure 'a' cannot co-exist.
