	// - an object whose type is not yet known is painted white (initial color)
	// - an object whose type is in the process of being inferred is painted grey
	// - an object whose type is fully inferred is painted black
	//
	// During type inference, an object's color changes from white to grey
	// to black (pre-declared objects are painted black from the start).
	// A black object (i.e., its type) can only depend on (refer to) other black
	// ones. White and grey objects may depend on white and black objects.
	// A dependency on a grey object indicates a cycle which may or may not be
	// valid.

	// When objects turn grey, they are pushed on the object path (a stack);
	// they are popped again when they turn black. Thus, if a grey object (a
	// cycle) is encountered, it is on the object path, and all the objects
	// it depends on are the remaining objects on that path. Color encoding
	// is such that the color value of a grey object indicates the index of
	// that object in the object path.

	// During type-checking, white objects may be assigned a type without
