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

import std.reo;

composite main(out c) {
	channel ao -> ai;
	channel bo -> bi;
	channel axo -> axi;
	channel zo -> zi;
	new sync(ai, bo);
	new replicator(bi, {axo, c});
	new consensus({axi, zi}, ao);
	new generator(zo);
}

primitive generator(out z) {
	while (true) {
		synchronous (msg x) {
			if (x == null) {
				put(z, x);
				assert !fires(x);
			} else {
				put(z, x);
				assert fires(x);
			}
		}
	}
}
