+  The @code{Program} class was one of the first prototypes created,
+    and has evolved poorly with the rest of the system.
+  It is the base class for all compiled programs,
+    and it glues together too many other systems with a terrible
+    API and little to no encapsulation.
+
+  With that said, it is one of the least touched classes (thus its
