//: For convenience, some instructions will take literal arrays of characters (strings).
//:
//: Instead of quotes, we'll use [] to delimit strings. That'll reduce the
//: need for escaping since we can support nested brackets. And we can also
//: imagine that 'recipe' might one day itself be defined in mu, doing its own
//: parsing.
