4//! Marshalling between typed `Value`s and compiled-tier slots. One
5//! place owns the rule for every port type, so embedded cones and
6//! whole compiled kernels decode alike:
7//!
8//! - scalars ride as their slot bits, one slot or two;
9//! - every `Ref2` kind rides as a `(ptr, len)` pair (jit_boundary.md,
10//!   axioms S1–S10): a typed vector, a string, or a byte string as a
11//!   slice of its elements, and a JSON, extension, or handle value as
12//!   a one-element slice holding the `Value`.
13//!
14//! Entering the compiled tier, a `Value` is borrowed: the pair points
15//! into the value the caller holds for the duration of the call.
16//! Leaving it, the pair is copied out to an owned `Value`: the
17//! interpreter and the host never hold a reference into a state's
18//! buffers.
