But of course, *none* of this needs to be written in C/C++, barring a
couple hundred lines of ASM code in the kernel for a few hardware
interactions and maybe a hundred lines of ASM/C in the language-level
runtime.

Once the BitC type system is augmented with the Habit stuff, it appears
possible to me to write an allocation-free, type-safe runtime within BitC
itself, except for some very, very small low-level operations.
