+Warning: This is an example about an undocumented feature of Limbo. All assertions or explanations provided are considered conjecture until proven otherwise.

+## Source

+###
+
+## Demo
+
+## Exercises
+
+- Can you find a way to make the eq() function do a deep comparison of Int's?
+- Try removing the `.String` from the `words` definition, what happens?
+- Try removing `ref anywhere, see what happens.
