4//! The activation runtime for `for` traversals (for_traversal.md §3.4,
5//! §3.6, §5).
6//!
7//! A [`TraversalStream`] dispenses one [`Activation`] per tuple of a
8//! compiled traversal. An activation is a fresh state over the body's
9//! program, compiled once at parent compile time, with the tuple's
10//! elements and the parent's cascaded wires bound and every `over`
11//! cursor narrowed. Activation never compiles: the cost of the second
12//! activation is the cost of the first minus nothing, because the first
13//! did not compile either.
14//!
15//! Cycles follow the rule in §3.4: a body with a cursor iterates its
16//! narrowest cursor extent, one cycle per ordinal, with the cursor's
17//! ordinal written before each pull; a body without a cursor has one
18//! cycle per activation.
