Indeed. We should just use the generalization i.e. a range of indices for all
resources.

It's a HLL name, the shared lib, and an array of type mappings. See also
src/hll.c:
interpreter->HLL_info
@HLL_info = [
[ hll_name, hll_lib, { core_type => HLL_type, ... }, namespace ],
...
]
The namespace is added at runtime.
