-* A script to package SubX together with a minimal Linux kernel image

-* Testable, dependency-injected vocabulary of primitives
-  - Streams: `read()`, `write()`. (✓)
-  - `exit()` (✓)
-  - Sockets
-  - Files
-  - Concurrency, and a framework for testing blocking code
-
-* Higher-level notations. Like programming languages, but with thinner

-  - syntax for addressing modes: `%reg`, `*reg`, `*(reg+disp)`,
-    `*(reg+reg+disp)`, `*(reg+reg<<n + disp)`
-  - function calls in a single line, using addressing modes for arguments
-  - syntax for controlling a type checker, like [prototype 2](https://github.com/akkartik/mu/tree/master/archive/2.vm).
-  - a register allocation _verifier_. Programmer provides registers for
