colm: updated hello_world and assign examples
Removed the string concatenation from hello world examples (even though we want to bring it back eventually). Updated assign example so it does not use named lexical regions. Also removed the overlap between id and number, which resulted in the id form of number never matching. Added some error handling. refs #94

We also notice that:
* the quotes can be single and double
-* there is no need for a concat operator
* the whitespace is not significant
* the newlines '\n' appear to be '\r\n'
