DESIGN.md:
- "What is not (yet) supported" updated for end-of-Iter-12 boundary:
parameterised ADTs replace HM-inside-bodies as the headline gap;
polymorphism limitations (direct-call-only, no higher-rank) are
spelled out so future me doesn't trip over them.
- "What is supported" gains the polymorphism + monomorphisation
bullet, with the descriptor scheme written out.
- Smoke-test list extended with poly_id and poly_apply.
JOURNAL.md: Iter 12a/b retrospective. Notes the metavar-encoding
choice (Type::Var{name:"$m<n>"} vs new variant) and why the
codegen-side type tracker was preferable to a typechecker
sidetable for now. Architecture self-check confirms the language
is now usable for poly-flavoured programs over primitives. Plan 13:
parameterised ADTs as the natural next step (without them, generic
map remains hand-monomorphised).
Iter 12c was originally to include a polymorphic map rewrite —
dropped because parameterised ADTs are the prerequisite. The two
new examples (poly_id, poly_apply, both already in 12b) cover the
real e2e proof.
