* A debugging and testing interface is provided by a constant named

* code, in the frozen object.
*
* By default, this interface is inaccessible. The interface can be made
* visible to the global scope by enabling `expose_interface`.
*
* If you plan to use the interface for anything other than testing,
* then you may be missing the point.
