/**
 * @file runtime_struct.c
 * @brief The structure verbs and the field machinery behind `.` and `->`.
 *
 * **A structure is laid out exactly as an array is**, and that falls out of
 * declaring the type: `TYPE` states the fields, so an instance has a known slot
 * count and takes one contiguous run from the same value pool `DIM` already
 * draws from. A field access is then offset arithmetic against an offset
 * src/structtype.c computed before the program ran.
 *
 * Two things ride on a value to say which instance is meant -- `structtype` and
 * `structbase`, both added to akbasic_Value for this and neither shared with the
 * numeric fields. A `STRUCT` value and a `POINTER` value carry the *same*
 * reference; what differs is what assignment does with it. A structure copies
 * the slots it points at and a pointer copies the reference, which is the whole
 * of the strict-pointer rule and the reason `.` and `->` are kept apart from the
 * scanner all the way down to here.
 *
 * Copy is **deep through values and stops at pointers**, as it does for a C
 * struct holding a pointer. Because a `TYPE` cannot contain itself by value, the
 * depth of a copy is fixed by the type graph before the program starts, so no
 * copy can recurse forever and none needs a runtime depth counter. Only
 * rendering does, because a pointer can make the graph cyclic.
