	// - an object whose type is not yet known is painted white (initial color)
	// - an object whose type is in the process of being inferred is painted grey
	// - an object whose type is fully inferred is painted black

	// During type inference, an object's color changes from white to grey

	// cycle) is encountered, it is on the object path, and all the objects
	// it depends on are the remaining objects on that path. Color encoding
	// is such that the color value of a grey object indicates the index of
	// that object in the object path.
