/// The linker has a Graph Theory model of linking. An object file is seen
/// as a set of Atoms with References to other Atoms.  Each Atom is a node
/// and each Reference is an edge.
///
/// For example if a function contains a call site to "malloc" 40 bytes into
/// the Atom, then the function Atom will have a Reference of: offsetInAtom=40,
/// kind=callsite, target=malloc, addend=0.
///
/// Besides supporting traditional "relocations", references are also used
/// forcing layout (one atom must follow another), marking data-in-code
/// (jump tables or ARM constants), etc.
///
/// The "kind" of a reference is a tuple of <namespace, arch, value>.  This
/// enable us to re-use existing relocation types definded for various
/// file formats and architectures.
///
/// References and atoms form a directed graph. The dead-stripping pass
/// traverses them starting from dead-strip root atoms to garbage collect
/// unreachable ones.
///

/// that, references of some kind is considered as bidirected edges.
