//! This module implements the abstract/virtual machine that runs Tvix
//! bytecode.
//!
//! The operation of the VM is facilitated by the [`Frame`] type,
//! which controls the current execution state of the VM and is
//! processed within the VM's operating loop.
//!
//! A [`VM`] is used by instantiating it with an initial [`Frame`],
//! then triggering its execution and waiting for the VM to return or
//! yield an error.
