Description
It would be really neat if there was an option to dump the AST and HIR representations of programs alongside the option to dump the MIR representation. This would be invaluable when working on the compiler.

Research direction
The issue names no files or tests. Start by locating the existing MIR dump option and the compiler entry points for AST and HIR representations; determine how those dumps should be exposed alongside MIR. Done means the Playground offers the requested option and produces AST and HIR output for a program.
