-TODO:
-- hierachical expansion parser (start with '--' then, else if '-..')
-- accumulate errorchecking (less if()'s compound check)
-- segv handler instead ENOMEM checking in experimental branch
-- back to free functions die with NULL argument
-- *_dump needs stream handle (instead stderr fixed)
-- prereserve objects in freelists/wordtable for errorhandlers
