+# ---- script_parse_table explanation ----
+# This is an IntervalMap that keeps track of previously parsed scripts, texts
+# and other objects. Anything that has a location in the ROM should be mapped
+# to an interval (a range of addresses) in this structure. Each object that is
+# assigned to an interval should implement attributes or methods like:
+#   ATTRIBUTE/METHOD            EXPLANATION
+#   label                       what the heck to call the object

+#   to_asm()                    spit out asm (not including label)
 #keys are intervals "500..555" of byte addresses for each script
-#last byte is not inclusive
+#last byte is not inclusive(?) really? according to who??
 #this is how to make sure scripts are not recalculated
