+- track lvals when propagatign types, and ensure we have one when needed.
 - allow passing objects to functions by reference is requested
-- '.' modifier to auto-add derefernce if needed
 - Assign/Decl to accept lvalue for assigning to reference
 - add [] as size-of-array
 - replace [foo::] declaration of array with [] - fix all main() calls
 - ensure all param passing and value return is handled correctly
+- remove all UNTESTED
 - revise all commentary
 - blog post
 - release

+- code can appear in multiple forms:
+   - source code
+   - abstract syntax tree
+   - byte-code
+   - loadable machine code
+   - executable-only machine code
+  All but last can be loaded by 'ocean' and transformed into a later form,

 ## Needed in library
  - augmented and overloaded pointers
     An augmented pointer can also store a flag- for a bitlock etc
