;;;; Bounds checks, TODO.org, "An index out of range is a condition". One
;;;; program, one case per argument, so a trap is observable: the checked build
;;;; exits 134 with the source location on stderr.
;;;;
;;;; The unchecked build is not uniform, and the split is the point. An index
;;;; past the end runs off the end there and is not asserted on — that is what
;;;; --no-bounds-checks buys. Two of the cases below still trap: the reversed
;;;; range at n = 2 and the negative promise at n = -2, because neither is a
;;;; bounds check. Both are the claim that a slice's length word is a count,
;;;; and a build that drops them does not produce an unchecked slice, it
;;;; produces a value that is not one. See check_slice in lib/emit.ml.
;;;;
;;;; The selector is also the index wherever it can be, which is what keeps the
;;;; index dynamic — a literal would let the checker reject it outright one day
;;;; (that is a separate job) and lets LLVM fold the branch away here.
