	-Experimental Branch Information
	-===============================
	-
	-This is the experimental branch of sam.
	-Differences between this and the main branch include:
	-
	-- Use of wide characters instead of runes,
	- and the operating system's multibyte encoding functions.
	- This should allow sam to work with any character encoding supported by the O…
	- Additionally, this allows support beyond the Basic Multilingual Plane.
	-- A much smaller and simpler buffer implementation.
	- Classic sam had a very complex buffer implementation because it had to;
	- things were less standardized then and you couldn't rely on the OS having a …
	- All modern systems have decent-enough implementations,
	- so we use them.
	- This cuts down on code complexity and makes things much faster.
	-- Modern types:
	- we use all of the C99 stdint types everywhere,
	- increasing portability.
	-- Removal of all word-size and endian sensitivity.
	- This version of sam doesn't require the USE64BITS flag,
	- and compiles and runs identically on any supported architecture.
