I think you should talk to Gordon Woodhull. He's building a metagraph
(among others) library, which I am going to use in msm for
compile-time calculations and fsm analysis. This means there will be
temporarily a metagraph library inside msm as proof of concept until
there can be a review.
Maybe he can adapt this library for proto analysis?
