 So I forgot to add a dependency (brev-separate) and csc didn't find it,
 which is fair enough, it's on me.

 But Teiresias pointed out that if I had jammed it into a module, csc
 would've found it:

 {{{
 Part of the magic of csc flagging errors for you lies in modules.  The
 following would also have caught the missing dep when compiled by csc:

 (module main ()
 (import fmt fmt-c tree)

 (fmt #t
      (c-expr
       (tree-map
        (fn
         (case x ((fun) '%fun) ((var) '%var)
               ((pointer) '%pointer) ((array) '%array)
               ((cast) '%cast) (else x)))
        (read))))
 )

 So probably best to (module) everything as a matter of course.
 }}}


 (As in, he only added the (module main () …) wrapper and that made csc
 able to find the missing deps.)
 Sure. Only problem with that is that I don't wanna. Can't CSC apply the
 same magic even when there's no explicit module? Implicit is better than
 explicit.
