//: The bedrock level 1 of abstraction is now done, and we're going to start
//: building levels above it that make programming in x86 machine code a
//: little more ergonomic.
//:
//: All levels will be "pass through by default". Whatever they don't
//: understand they will silently pass through to lower levels.
//:
//: Since raw hex bytes of machine code are always possible to inject, SubX is
//: not a language, and we aren't building a compiler. This is something
//: deliberately leakier. Levels are more for improving auditing, checks and
//: error messages rather than for hiding low-level details.

//: 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 write to an ELF binary.
//:
//: Higher levels usually transform code on the basis of metadata.
