Arenas, interning, index newtypes and shared data structures for the rucc C compiler.
Documentation
//! A map from a name to a value, kept in a stack of scopes.
//!
//! Design: `spec/06-lexer-and-parser.md` section 6.4.
//!
//! Two passes need this and they need the same thing from it. The parser holds one per C
//! namespace to answer whether an identifier in a specifier list is a type name, which is the
//! one real ambiguity in C's grammar. Semantic analysis holds one per namespace to resolve a
//! use of a name to the declaration it refers to. Neither of them knows anything about the
//! other's values, so what is shared is the scoping and not what is scoped, and it lives here
//! rather than being written twice and drifting.
//!
//! Nothing in here knows what C is. It is a name, a value, and the rule that an inner binding
//! hides an outer one until its scope closes.
