Ah, many thanks.

Well, looking at the references, I guess it's not terminology that 
is widely known beyond game programming, but there is some effort 
to make this a brand of sorts.

The word 'runtime' seems to be getting overloaded with a lot of 
things. I find it a little weird to be talking about 'runtime' on 
an interpreted language.

All the best to Soni, I applaud this kind of experimentation. :-)
