//: Since different layers all carve out different parts of various namespaces

//: we can lay out the big picture of what uses what. So we'll do that here
//: and just have to manually remember to update it when we move boundaries
//: around.
//:
//:: Memory
//:
//: Location 0 - unused (since it can help uncover bugs)
//: Locations 1-899 - reserved for tests
//: Locations 900-999 - reserved for predefined globals in Mu scenarios, like keyboard, screen, etc.

//:

//:: Depths for tracing
//:
//: 0 - errors
//: 1-99 - app-level trace statements in Mu
//: 100-9999 - call-stack statements (mostly label run)

//:: Summary of type-checking in different phases
//: when dispatching instructions we accept first recipe that:
//:   strictly matches all types
//:   maps literal 0 or literal 1 to boolean for some ingredients
//:   performs some other acceptable type conversion
//:     literal 0 -> address
//:     literal -> character
//: when checking instructions we ensure that types match, and that literals map to some scalar
//:   (address can only map to literal 0)
//:   (boolean can only map to literal 0 or literal 1)
//:     (but conditionals can take any scalar)
//: at runtime we perform no checks
