(** A "core semantics represents" a fairly traditional, sequential, small step semantics of computation.  They are designed to cooperate with "extensions" which give semantics to primtive constructs not defined by the extensible semantics (e.g., external function calls).  The [G] type parameter is the type of global environments, the type [C] is the type of core states, and the type [E] is the type of extension requests.  The [at_external] function gives a way to determine when the sequential execution is blocked on an extension call, and to extract the data necessary to execute the call. [after_external] give a way to inject the extension call results back into the sequential state so execution can continue.  (* Previsouly, we had additionally  a) a type parameter [D] that stood for the type of initialization data, eg list (ident * globvar V).  b) a clause [initial_mem] that characterized memories suitable at module entry.  But we eliminated these, since these constructs refer to PROGRAMS, not CORES.  *)
[initial_core] that produces the core state
corresponding to an entry point of a module.
The arguments are the genv, a pointer to the
function to run, and the arguments for that function.
The [halted] predicate indicates when a program state
has reached a halted state, and what it's exit code/return value is
when it has reached such a state.
[corestep] is the fundamental small-step relation for
the sequential semantics.
The remaining properties give basic sanity properties which constrain
the behavior of programs.
1) a state cannot be both blocked on an extension call
and also step,
2) a state cannot both step and be halted
3) a state cannot both be halted and blocked on an external call
4) after external calls, cores are back in a "runnable" state
(NOTE: this axiom may be removed at some point) *)
