The format shown is just a written form of Exupery's low level
intermediate. It was originally created for unit testing, it can
be used to create intermediate objects, to compare outupt, and
to set up mocks.

In normal operation, Exupery will translate bytecode through several
intermediate forms to create tolerably efficient machine code.
