//! This module implements a compiler for compiling the rnix AST
//! representation to Tvix bytecode.
//!
//! A note on `unwrap()`: This module contains a lot of calls to
//! `unwrap()` or `expect(...)` on data structures returned by `rnix`.
//! The reason for this is that rnix uses the same data structures to
//! represent broken and correct ASTs, so all typed AST variants have
//! the ability to represent an incorrect node.
//!
//! However, at the time that the AST is passed to the compiler we
//! have verified that `rnix` considers the code to be correct, so all
//! variants are fulfilled. In cases where the invariant is guaranteed
//! by the code in this module, `debug_assert!` has been used to catch
//! mistakes early during development.
