Fornjot

Over the last week, I have started to shift my focus away from the work that directly contributes to advancing the roadmap, towards more foundational work. Right now, that mostly means simplifying the core data structures (#1525), which should pretty much make every aspect of kernel development easier.

Honestly, I think I just need a break from staring at the builder code (#1162), like I've been doing for the last few weeks. In addition, improving the foundational infrastructure will benefit all future development. I don't know when I'll get back to #1162, but I think it's most important for me to stay productive and move things in the right direction in general, rather than advance along one specific path, even when that path could be considered the most important one.
