module Risc
  # Positions are very different during compilation and run-time.
  # At run-time they are inherrent to the object, and fixed.
  # While during compilation we can move things about, and do not use the
  # objects memory position at all.
  #
  # Furthermore, there are differnet kind of positions during compilation.
  # Off course the object position as hinted above, but also instruction
  # positions, that do not reflect the position of the object, but of the
  # assembled instruction in the binary.
  #
  # The Position module keeps a hash of all compile time positions.
  #
  # While the (different)Position objects transmit the change that (re) positioning
  # entails to affected objects.
