Norm 0.10

Norm 0.10 completes the vertical implementation of references to value storage locations.

Language

ref<T> identifies a non-nullable value storage location, and &location takes its address.
*reference reads a value, while *reference = value replaces the stored value.
Copying a ref preserves location identity; == and != compare locations.
Writable locals, parameters, and value-typed fields of class instances are addressable.
Refs are confined to locals and callable parameters and cannot escape through returns, fields, containers, generics, function types, or lambda capture.

Semantic, Bound, and Core use dedicated reference types and location operations.
Core identity advances to Schema V6 and Language Semantics V6.
Truffle uses frame slots and object fields as location identities while preserving value-copy semantics.
The parser, formatter, Language Server, VS Code grammar, and cross-package compiler share the same reference model.

See the ref<T> reference rules for the complete contract.
