OTOH, two approaches come to mind:

First one is, introduce another token kind (or several new token kinds, 
if we need to take care of degrees of severity) for error, and add an 
'error node' every time an error occurs and contniue regardless. Then, 
let the calling application decide what to do.

Second one could be something like this:

Call an event wherever halting occurs:

<pseudo_code>
If SomethingIllegalHappened then FOnReportErrorAndGetFeedback(Self, 
ErrorKind, PositionInText, MustStop);

If MustStop then DoEmitFatalErrorAndStop;
</pseudo_code>
