It has no runtime semantics right now. I consider

Hello,
I'm going to try to combine the two parallel compiler threads into
one, by replying to two messages at once. I hope this makes things
simpler rather than more confusing. :-)

Following up on my last email, I am nervously announcing a new branch,
'wip-compiler'. I hope that in a few months this branch will contain a
working compiler. For now, it contains a few new data structures and a
