# To run:
#   $ ./translate_mu apps/factorial.mu
#   $ ./a.elf
#   $ echo $?
#   120

# You can also run the automated test suite:
#   $ ./a.elf test
# Expected output:
#   ........
# Every '.' indicates a passing test. Failing tests get a 'F'.
# There's only one test in this file, but you'll also see tests running from
# Mu's standard library.
