(** programs as source. A program in any language travels the tree as a
    handle carrying [EphemeralRelation.Stored], with its text as the code,
    so whoever holds one can run it through the evaluator of its language
    without linking that language.

    An evaluator is named [scope:language] and registered at
    \[scope]\evaluator\[language]; a bare [language] is the system's. *)
