//: After that lengthy prelude to define an x86 emulator, we are now ready to
//: start translating SubX notation.

//: Translator workflow: read 'source' file. Run a series of transforms on it,
//: each passing through what it doesn't understand. The final program should
//: be just machine code, suitable to emulate, or to write to an ELF binary.
