/// @brief   Construct an abstract syntax tree from a code snippet.
/// @details This method parses the provided null terminated code snippet and
///   attempts to construct a complete abstract syntax tree (AST) which can be
///   passed to the AX Compiler. If the code is not well formed (as defined by
///   the AX grammar) a nullptr is returned and instances of any errors
///   encoutered are stored to the provided logger.
/// @note   The returned AST is const as the logger uses this to determine line
///   and column numbers of errors/warnings in later stages. If you need to
///   modify the tree, take a copy.
///
/// @return A shared pointer to a valid const AST. Can be a nullptr on error.
/// @todo  In the future it may be useful for ::parse to return as much of
///   the valid AST that exists.

/// @param code    The code to parse
