I'm out to write a powerful, and easilly modifiable hardcoded codebase,
that can be fully extended within the hardcoded limitations in an internal
language. I intend it to require no reboots after the first month or so of
modifications, and have provided a number of fascilities for online
modification of anything outside of the primary structure... but that
primary structure (what might be a lib in LPs, save that LPC cannot do
half the things I require) is hardcoded.
