# A word is a a short sequence of characters
# Characters are not modeled as objects but as (small) integers
# The small means two of them have to fit into a machine word, utf16 or similar
#
# Words are constant, maybe like js strings, ruby symbols
# Words are short, but may have spaces
# Words are objects, that means they carry Layout as index 0
# So all indexes are offset by one in the implementation
# Object length is measured in non-layout cells though
# big TODO , this has NO encoding, a char takes a machine word. Go fix.
