+/*******************************************************************
+** Compiler API
+**
+** The manner in which this module is laid out differs meaningfully
+** from the `ae_node` module.
+**
+** - ae_node basically exposes a subset of the node interface as
+**   functions. It only black-boxes away the networking aspects.
+**
+** - part of the reason for this is that the data structures that get
+**   sent to the node tend to be pretty involved (lots of fields)
+**
+** - in general, the node interface is significantly more complicated 
+**   than the compiler interface
+**
+** - by contrast, the data structures that get sent to the compiler
+**   tend to be pretty simple and only have a small number of fields
+**
+** - the manner in which this manifests is that ae_node functions
+**   tend to have a weird esoteric data structure as the input,
+**   because otherwise there would be too many parameters.
+**
+**   here, there are few parameters, and they are passed directly
+**
+** - in general, the compiler has fewer things it can do, and the
+**   things it does tend to depend on less information. so this
+**   interface is significantly simpler than the node interface
