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

import std.reo;

composite main(in asend, out arecv, in bsend, out brecv, in csend, out crecv) {
    channel xo -> xi;
    channel yo -> yi;
    channel zo -> zi;
    // Every synchronous round, at most one message is sent (to determine a global order)
    new mymerger(asend, bsend, xo);
    new mymerger(csend, xi, yo);
    // If a message is sent, it is broadcast to every recipient
    new replicator(yi, {arecv, zo});
    new replicator(zi, {brecv, crecv});
}

primitive mymerger(in a, in b, out c) {
    while (true) {
        synchronous {
            if (fires(a) && !fires(b) && fires(c)) {
                put(c, get(a));
            } else if (!fires(a) && fires(b) && fires(c)) {
                put(c, get(b));
            } else {
            	assert !fires(a) && !fires(b) && !fires(c);
            }
        }
    }
