Excellent. The type system caught the missing declaration, and the compiler
processed the desugared multi-argument ECALL perfectly. Your AST-to-C pipeline
is now fortified.
To implement native dictionaries (mappings), we will follow the same pattern
used for arrays. We will build a MappingManager that stores JS Map objects in
the VM's heap area, addressable via integer pointers. We will expose this to
the LPC engine via three new system efuns: sys_map_create, sys_map_set, and
sys_map_get.
By keeping these as function calls rather than complex syntax (m["key"] =
val), your AST-MD generator can easily flatten them, and the LLM can easily
translate them into C hash table lookups during JIT synthesis.
