+%%
+%% 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.
