Random.range is rng_range, so a package's own rng_range(a, b, c) took
every Random.range call silently. Where the program calls such a method
and the target resolves to a function of its own, the function is
refused, naming the namespace method and the call. Reseed.

A `view Name { field = x; function q(..); on e(..) }` declaration is the one bridge between a
program and its UI: it writes view_<name>() -> UiView, whose model is a Value of every field and
whose call runs a query or an event by name.
ludic.ui is a template runtime:
- HTML-shaped XML screens and components, loaded at run time;
- {expression} bindings, if/else/each, props, slots, per-instance state;
- on-press / onclick actions (event, set, emit);
- component libraries (export="true", <import src as>).
Styling:
- stylesheets in <style> or importable .lss files (@import);
- CSS selectors (#id, .class, [attr=v], descendant and > combinators, :hover, :disabled,
:first-child, :last-child, :nth-child, :not) weighed by specificity;
- the box model and flex under CSS's property names.
Also:
- default parameters, and positional-then-named calls;
- Value gains a float kind;
- a function shadowing a runtime one is refused;
- an index is evaluated before the slice is read;
- runtime errors name the right file.

`alias meth(labels) = target` in a namespace block makes Ns.meth a call to
target with those labels (the target's own parameter names without a list). The
engine's 41 table-driven namespaces - 438 methods: Http, Udp, Process, Json,
Value, Screen, Input, Audio, World, Tiled, ... - leave emit_ns_call for
runtime/native/namespaces.ludic, spliced into every program; 532 lines of
compiler go and the seed shrinks by 23k lines of IR. The game's IR is byte
identical. The checker checks an alias call's arguments against its target.
Still built in: the inline namespaces (Math, Text, List, Vector, Color, Time,
Date, ...) and the methods that pick a target by argument type.
