%% Purpose : Convert annotated kernel expressions to annotated beam format.

%% This module creates beam format annotated with variable lifetime
%% information.  Each thing is given an index and for each variable we
%% store the first and last index for its occurrence.  The variable
%% database, VDB, attached to each thing is only relevant internally
%% for that thing.
%%
%% For nested things like matches the numbering continues locally and
%% the VDB for that thing refers to the variable usage within that
%% thing.  Variables which live through a such a thing are internally
%% given a very large last index.  Internally the indexes continue
%% after the index of that thing.  This creates no problems as the
%% internal variable info never escapes and externally we only see
%% variable which are alive both before or after.
%%
%% This means that variables never "escape" from a thing and the only
%% way to get values from a thing is to "return" them, with 'break' or
%% 'return'.  Externally these values become the return values of the
%% thing.  This is no real limitation as most nested things have
%% multiple threads so working out a common best variable usage is
%% difficult.
