One thing that comes to mind are copying garbage collectors which need to
keep track of references while moving objects around. Probably looking into
how that is solved will provide some insight.

Hey Alan,
With regards to burning issues and better directions, I want to
highlight the communicating with aliens problem as worth of remembering.

This might relate to cooperating solvers aspect of your work.
Cheers,
All this talk of macros and quotes reminds me that there is Kernel language
where they are extraneous (if I understand it correctly). Operative and
applicative combiners are used explicitly:

It may revolve around the meaning of uploading, but my problem with the

I had some thoughts about how to approach the issue. I was thinking that
you could represent the language in a more semanticaly rich form such as a

declaring lenses between them.
