Add docs for implementing infinite types in a value based language.

Since we are a value based language and do not have the concept of
pointers, then if we want to lay out the memory of datatypes we run
into a problem when the types represent recursive datastructures:
these are infinite in size. So we have an algorithm for turning
some types into pointer-like things, such that we can lay everything
out in memory.

#version 100

// built-in outside sync block
primitive main(in a, out b) {
	int x = 0;
	msg y = create(0); // legal
	while (x < 10) {
		y = get(a); // illegal
		synchronous {
			y = get(a); // legal
		}
	}
}
