Near ref

Revision as of 10:31, 27 September 2008 by Kevin Reid (Talk | contribs)
Near is one of the three main reference states, along with eventual and broken.
Near refs designate objects in the same vat, and so they can be the recipients of immediate calls. Near refs cannot change state to broken.
Ordinary objects in the same vat ("foo", def foo {...}, [1, 2, 3], etc.) are near references.
