-- Symbolic references to values.
--
-- References to values are usually implemented with memory addresses, and this
-- is practical when communicating values between the different pieces of a
-- single process.
--
-- When values are communicated across different processes running in possibly
-- different machines, though, addresses are no longer useful since each
-- process may use different addresses to store a given value.
--
-- To solve such concern, the references provided by this module offer a key
-- that can be used to locate the values on each process. Each process maintains
-- a global table of references which can be looked up with a given key. This
-- table is known as the Static Pointer Table. The reference can then be
-- dereferenced to obtain the value.
