<p>
The assembler uses various directives to bind text and data to symbol names.
For example, here is a simple complete function definition. The <code>TEXT</code>
directive declares the symbol <code>runtime·profileloop</code> and the instructions

	Both types have identical structure and their element types

	Exactly one type is an <a href="#Type_inference">unbound</a>

	and that core type unifies with the other type per the
