     - Original version of `update` also had this same problem with `assoc`; fixed it by calling the Ludus, rather than Rust, function.
 * [a] `loop`/`recur` is still giving me a very headache. It breaks stack discipline to avoid packing tuples into a heap-allocated vec. There may be a way to fix this in the current compiler scheme around how I do and don't handle arguments--make recur stupider and don't bother loading anything. A different solution would be to desugar loop into an anonymous function call. A final solution would be just to use a heap-allocated tuple.

         * [ ] that suggests that we need a mapping from bytecodes to AST nodes
         * The way I had been planning on doing this is having a vec that moves in lockstep with bytecode that's just references to ast nodes, which are `'static`, so that shouldn't be too bad. But this is per-chunk, which means we need a reference to that vec in the VM. My sense is that what we want is actually a separate data structure that holds the AST nodes--we'll only need them in the sad path, which can be slow.
