Does anyone know of a compiler that goes from one object capabilities language to another? If you were working with such a tool, what you would want is to be able to reason in either the source language or the target language and not go wrong. I would like to better understand what exactly this level-shifting means. It looks tempting to say you want object graphs in the source language to map to object graphs in the target language. If the source language has a reference from SA to SB, then you want the target language to have a reference from TA to TB where TA and TB are the objects corresponding to SA and SB. Given this property, it would seem like you could shift your reasoning between the compilation levels pretty safely. I am not sure, though. What do you guys think? -Lex
