Mint APE Loader v1.5
This change ports APE Loader to Linux AARCH64, so that Raspberry Pi
users can run programs like redbean, without the executable needing
to modify itself. Progress has also slipped into this change on the
issue of making progress better conforming to user expectations and
industry standards regarding which symbols we're allowed to declare

DESCRIPTION

  plinko is a simple lisp interpreter that takes advantage of advanced
  operating system features irrespective of their practicality such as
  using the nsa instruction popcount for mark sweep garbage collection
  overcommit memory, segment registers, and other dirty hacks that the
  popular interpreters cannot do; this lets plinko gain a considerable
  performance edge while retaining an event greater edge in simplicity

  We hope you find these sources informative, educational, and possibly
  useful too. Lisp source code, written in its dialect is included too
  under //tool/plinko/lib and unit tests which clarify their usage can
  be found in //test/tool/plinko.
