Question About the Variable Allocator

Hello, I've always been puzzled about part of the variable allocator. In module/language/tree-il/analyze.scm, we deal with allocations, which are hash tables that say where in the stack each local variable goes. The maps are two level, symbol - {lambda - location}. The reason given is that
