As others have said there isn't a formal definition. It's also a moving
target.  I had to add significant type inference facilities to be able to
express both a 64-bit and a 32-bit VM with the same set of sources.  I've
also extended it to support literal block arguments to a limited extent.
One can't enumerate over objects, but one can supply blocks to iterators.

I'm curious what you want to use Slang for.  Answering this might help
Slang users/maintainers/extenders to help you.
