+//! # Details
+//!
+//! ## Function Blocks
+//! Every function is compiled into a bytecode block. These blocks are self-contained, and contain
+//! all debug- and other information associated with it. The final bytecode is a collection of
+//! these blocks.
+//!
+//! Note: Because of closures, function blocks have more required inputs than just the parameters,
+//! but the compiler should handle that correctly.
+//!
+//! ## Local offsets
+//! Variables offsets are calculated as `local offsets`. Local offsets are calculated relative to
+//! the start of the space of the stack required by that function. The interpreter must keep track
+//! of the stack start of each function, to be able to calculate these offsets.
