It is odd to state, but Axiomatizers should not underestimate the
power of abstraction.
Not because the whole system is mechanically translated to assembly
code means that the system should actually be written in assembly
code. Think Unix, think C. Think Spad, think high level.
Fortunately, Boot is already written in Boot and we have a 2-3 stage
Boot-strap.
