-// Declarations only version of Cm (like mojo/protobuf? not sure)
-
-// assume special receiver (as opposed to smalltalk/objC style message passing)
-// -- actually, on second thought, this has nothing to do with dispatching (and smalltalk is single dispatch)
-// -- (no touching multiple dispatch since that's equivalent to reinventing a new language)
-// overloading discouraged, because runtime has to do extra work dispatching
-// declare functions outside, with `this` keyword marking receiver
-// - in C, func -> prefixed with reciever type, 1st arg is reciever pointer
-// - in C++, func -> member function
-// - lua (or whatever else), reciever type correspondingly

-// C: mangling
-// C++: overloading
-// Lua: generate binding with type detection based dispatcher
-fn some_function(this: Foo, arg: i32)
-fn some_function(this: Foo)

-// alternative: use S-expression, get rid of parsing step?
