module SlotLanguage
# A Variable makes Slots. A Slot is the central SlotMachines description of a
# variable in an object. At the Language level this holds the information
# (names of variables) to be able to create the Slot instance
#
# In the SlotLanguage this is used in the Assignment. Just as a Slotload stores
# two slots to define what is loaded where, the Assignment, that creates a SlotLoad,
# uses two Variables.
class Variable
# stores the (instance) names that allow us to create a Slot
