registry NAME of RECORD [as PREFIX] is a global table; def NAME key { ... } in
any file is one entry, collected in source order and filled before any code
runs. Each entry gets an index constant (PREFIX_KEY), the table PREFIX_COUNT,
and a record with a key field gets it filled and a NAME_find(key). A record
literal naming a field its record lacks is now an error everywhere; a global's
initializer is lowered as its own file's code (its errors, and what its module
may see, were whichever statement came last).

Registries by declaration. registry Furnishings of Furnishing as HF declares a table of
records, and each def Furnishings chair { name: "Camp chair", cost: 60 } - in any file - is an
entry of it, filled before any code runs. Every entry gets an index constant (HF_CHAIR, in
declaration order), the table a count (HF_COUNT), and a record with a key field gets it filled
in and a lookup, furnishings_find(key). A def's fields are checked; a record literal naming a field
its record does not have is now an error everywhere.
