Description
Relates to #2.
To add struct fields, there's a few prerequisites
- Use hindley-milner type inference (needs to be done regardless)
- Fields and interface names are resolved at typechecking time (this means removing them from initialization.rs)
- Flattened representation of fields
- Instantiate representation of fields
- Codegen for structs & fields

Research direction
Start by reading issue #2 and reviewing the completed prerequisites in this checklist. Then locate the compiler areas responsible for field representation, instantiation, and struct code generation. Done means the three unchecked items are implemented and struct fields work through code generation.
