A_Module
A_Module is an interface that specifies the module-specific operations that an AvailObject must implement. It's a sub-interface of A_BasicObject, the interface that defines the behavior that all AvailObjects are required to support.

Extract a field from an object.
Extract a field from an object, using a one-based index into the field slots. This requires knowledge of the ObjectLayoutVariant, since the same field is at different indices in different variants.
Extract a field from an object, or answer null if it's not present.
Add or replace a field of an object.
Extract a field type from an object type.
Extract a field type from an object type, using the given field index, which is specific to an ObjectLayoutVariant.
Extract a field type from an object type, or null if it's not present.

Answer the number of integer slots. All variable integer slots occur following the last fixed integer slot.

The receiver is marked with an IMMUTABLE descriptor, but its subobjects have not yet been made immutable. Scan them now, and do any additional fix-ups necessary for the kind of object.

The receiver is marked with a SHARED descriptor, but its subobjects have not yet been made shared. Scan them now, and do any additional fix-ups necessary for the kind of object.

Answer a name suitable for labeling a field containing this object.
Answer the number of object slots in this AvailObject. All variable object slots occur following the last fixed object slot.
Recursively print the receiver to the builder unless it is already present in the recursionMap. Printing will begin at the specified indent level, measured in horizontal tab characters.
Dispatch to the descriptor.
Answer whether the objects occupy the same memory addresses.
Dispatch to the descriptor.
Replace the object's {@linkplain AbstractDescriptor descriptor}.
Dispatch to the descriptor.
Replace my descriptor field with a FillerDescriptor. This blows up for most messages, catching incorrect (all, by definition) further accidental uses of this object.
Answer whether to show value-specific content in the file name for the debugger.
Follow indirections until a non-indirection is reached. Replace each indirection's target with the ultimate target.
Follow indirections until a non-indirection is reached. Replace each indirection's target with the ultimate target, even if it would cause the otherwise-forbidden immutable->mutable references. Only used during makeImmutable.
Follow indirections until a non-indirection is reached. Replace each indirection's target with the ultimate target, even if it would cause the otherwise-forbidden shared->unshared references. Only used during makeShared.
Answer the number of variable integer slots in this object. This does not include the fixed integer slots.
Answer the number of variable object slots in this AvailObject. This does not include the fixed object slots.
Properties
Is the receiver an Avail extended integer?
Is the receiver an Avail IntTupleDescriptor? This is conservative, in that some object tuples may only contain ints but not be reported as being int tuples.
Is the receiver an Avail LongTupleDescriptor? This is conservative, in that some object tuples may only contain longs but not be reported as being long tuples.
Is the receiver an Avail two-byte string?
Is the receiver an Avail unsigned byte?

Answer the name of this module.
Answer the name of this module as a native Kotlin String.
Read the current state of the module, which indicates whether the module is loading, unloading, or in a stable state.
Look up a one-based index in this module's tuple of block phrases. If the tuple is nil, first fetch it from the repository and overwrite the field.
Dispatch to the descriptor.
Record a block phrase in this module, answering the unique one-based Avail integer index at which it can later be retrieved.

Deserialization has completed, and this is the A_Tuple of objects that were deserialized. This tuple can be used for pumping serializers and deserializers of subsequent modules, as well as the separate repository record for block phrases, stacks comments, and any styling, navigation, or indexing information stored separately from the body record of the module.
Set the repository record number for this module's manifest entries.
Set the record number under which this module's StylingRecord has been recorded.
Produce an A_String describing the module. Leave off the module path.
Get the module's StylingRecord, which is used for syntax coloring the module source. This may involve reading the repository.
