 * Synopsis:
 *   value(value)
 *   value value::get(where)
 *   value value::try_get(where)
 *   value value::getpath(list path)
 *   value value::insert(where, what)
 *   value value::insert(what)
 *   value value::replace(where, what)
 *   value value::replace_this(value)
 *   value value::insert_undo(where, what)
 *   value value::insert_undo(what)
 *   value value::replace_undo(where, what)
 *   value value::replace_this_undo(value)
 * 
 * Description:
 *   Value objects allow examining and manipulating values.
 *   These value objects are actually references to internal value structures, which
 *   may be shared between value objects.
 * 
 *   value(value) constructs a new value object from the given value.
 * 
 *   value::get(where) constructs a value object for the element at position 'where'
 *   (for a list), or the value corresponding to key 'where' (for a map). It is an
 *   error if the base value is not a list or a map, the index is out of bounds of
 *   the list, or the key does not exist in the map.
 *   The resulting value object is NOT a copy, and shares (part of) the same
 *   underlying value structure as the base value object. Deleting it will remove
 *   it from the list or map it is part of.
 * 
 *   value::try_get(where) is like get(), except that if any restriction on 'where'
 *   is violated, no error is triggered; instead, the value object is constructed
 *   as being deleted; this state is exposed via the 'exists' variable.
 *   This can be used to check for the presence of a key in a map, and in case it
 *   exists, allow access to the corresponding value without another get() statement.
 * 
 *   value::getpath(path) is like get(), except that it performs multiple
 *   consecutive resolutions. Also, if the path is an empty list, it performs
 *   no resulution at all.
 * 
 *   value::insert(where, what) constructs a value object by inserting into an
 *   existing value object.
 *   For lists, 'where' is the index of the element to insert before, or the length
 *   of the list to append to it.
 *   For maps, 'where' is the key to insert under. If the key already exists in the
 *   map, its value is replaced; any references to the old value however remain valid.
 * 
 *   value::insert(what) constructs a value object by appending to a list. An error
 *   is triggered if the base value is not a list. Assuming 'list' is a list value,
 *   list->insert(X) is equivalent to list->insert(list.length, X).
 * 
 *   value::replace(where, what) is like insert(), exept that, when inserting into a
 *   list, the value at the specified index is replaced with the new value (unless
 *   the index is equal to the length of the list).
 * 
 *   insert_undo() and replace_undo() are versions of insert() and replace() which
 *   attempt to revert the modifications when they deinitialize.
 *   Specifically, they work like that:
 *   - On initiialization, they take an internal reference to the value being replaced
 *     (if any; note that insert_undo() into a list never replaces a value).
 *   - On deinitialization, they remove the the inserted value from its parent (if there
 *     is one), and insert the old replaced value (to which a reference was kept) in that
 *     place (if any, and assuming it has not been deleted).
 *     Note that if the inserted value changes parents in between init and deinit, the
 *     result of undoing may be unexpected.
 * 
 * Variables:
 *   (empty) - the value stored in the value object
 *   type - type of the value; "string", "list" or "map"
 *   length - number of elements in the list or map, or the number of bytes in a
 *            string
 *   keys - a list of keys in the map (only if the value is a map)
 *   exists - "true" or "false", reflecting whether the value object holds a value
 *            (is not in deleted state)
 * 
 * Synopsis:
 *   value::remove(where)
 *   value::delete()
 * 
 * Description:
 *   value::remove(where) removes from an existing value object.
 *   For lists, 'where' is the index of the element to remove, and must be in range.
 *   For maps, 'where' is the key to remove, and must be an existing key.
 *   In any case, any references to the removed value remain valid.
 * 
 *   value::delete() deletes the underlying value data of this value object.
 *   After delection, the value object enters a deleted state, which will cause any
 *   operation on it to fail. Any other value objects which referred to the same value
 *   or parts of it will too enter deleted state. If the value was an element
 *   in a list or map, is is removed from it.
 * 
 * Synopsis:
 *   value value::substr(string start [, string length])
 * 
 * Description:
 *   Constructs a string value by extracting a part of a string.
 *   'start' specifies the index of the character (from zero) where the substring to
 *   extract starts, and must be <= the length of the string.
 *   'length' specifies the maximum number of characters to extract, if given.
 *   The newly constructed value is a copy of the extracted substring.
 *   The value must be a string value.
 * 
 * Synopsis:
 *   value::reset(what)
 * 
 * Description:
 *   Effectively deconstructs and reconstructs the value object. More precisely,
 *   it builds a new value structure from 'what', possibly invokes a scheduled undo
 *   operation (as scheduled by insert_undo() and replace_undo()), sets up this
 *   value object to reference the newly built value structure, without any scheduled
 *   undo operation.
 * 
 * Synopsis:
 *   value::append(string data)
 * 
 * Description:
 *   Appends the given data to a string value. The value this is called on must
 *   be a string value.
