# A Space is a collection of pages. It stores objects, the data for the objects,
# not references. See Page for more detail.

# Pages are stored by the object size they represent in a hash.

# Space and Page work together in making *new* objects available.
# "New" is slightly misleading in that normal operation only ever
# recycles objects.

  # it is a collection of objects, some of which are data, some classes, some functions

  # The main entry is a function called (of all things) "main".

  # There is a start and exit block that call main, which receives an List of strings
