So how would you tell the difference, and why would you care?
Swift uses LLVM, so everything gets

Would that actually be more helpful than simply printing an OOM

I think most would write that as:

With regard to the whole self-hosting thing, perhaps it is worth
copying the way Rust handles this:

So in order to build one would usually download a binary compiler
and use it to bootstrap, but in theory one can take the last
