At the moment, what can the compiler do with the built-in AAs at
compile time? (I think very little).
I don't actually know. I was thinking the basics worked, but the
point is Walter could make it work pretty easily by supplying a
completely different compile-time implementation for the compile-time
interpreter. Joe Librarywriter doesn't have that ability. One
solution could be a version(CompileTime) to let Joe target compile
time specificallly, or even a whole distinct interpreted sub-language
for CT usage. But I think the best is just for the compile-time
interpreter to grok all code that's grok-able. Just because that
requires no extra explanation.
The interpreter does use a completely different algorithm than the
runtime does for AA's.
