-#!/bin/sh
-# Translate SubX files with debug information on Linux.
-#
-# Mu's core tooling has a gap:
-#   0. The C++ translator 'subx translate' can generate debug information on
-#   Linux or BSD or Mac, but doesn't support any syntax sugar.
-#   1. The self-hosted translator 'translate' runs in emulated mode and can
-#   run on Linux or BSD or Mac. However, syntax sugar passes (sigils and
-#   calls) can be very slow to run emulated.
-#   2. The self-hosted translator 'ntranslate' runs natively on Linux. It is
-#   fast, but you get no trace for runs and zero error-checking on the code
-#   emitted by sigils and calls. Which could still be buggy.
-#
-# This script is a hack to get the best of all worlds. We run natively what we
-# must, and leverage as much debug information as possible. This arrangement
-# is snappy but requires Linux just like 'ntranslate'. You also are on your
-# own to mentally map desugared instructions in traces and error messages back
-# to the original sources.
