+/*
+ * # catboot
+ *
+ * the bootstrap compiler for catskill,
+ * implemented as simply as possible,
+ * depending only on the C standard library,
+ * in this case musl, and built statically
+ * in a single union build.
+ *
+ * should only be used to compile `catskill` itself,
+ * as it is not a full-featured compiler, and never will be.
+ * once `catskill` can compile itself using a C backend,
+ * this compiler version will be permanently retired.
+ * (although that's still very far away!! have fun! :3)
