In my mind this idea is bound with multiple implementations of the language’s toolset - the lexer, parser, semantic analyzer, type checker, and so forth.

Let’s say we have a color in a CSS variable. 1 --custom-color: #226622; Let’s say we don’t have any control over this color (maybe it came from user input?), but we’d like to use it.
