# actions.ludic — 0.R: actions and reducers. What happened is an action, a typed record; what it
# means for a state is that state's reducer, in the module that owns it:
#
#   action PickUp { item: int }
#   reducer Pack on PickUp(p: mut Pack, a: PickUp) { push(p.items, a.item) }
#   ...
#   dispatch PickUp { item: 3 }
#
# `dispatch` queues the action; the queue is drained - every reducer of each action run in turn,
# each supplied its own state - at the end of every phase of the frame loop, after each ludic.base
# phase, or where the program calls drain_actions(). A reducer writes exactly its own state and may
# READ others, declared between it and the action. Actions a reducer dispatches go behind the queue,
# never re-entrant, and a queue still growing after ACTION_PASSES rounds stops the program.
