well, this is pretty timely. I have been peeking at some of the opcodes in the BEAM and some of this stuff I had gotten wrong; since there isn't AFAICT easy-to-find documentation on how this works. Does anyone know of other resources along these lines?

I'd highly recommend "The Beam Book" by Erik Stenman: https://blog.stenmans.org/theBeamBook/

A few years ago, I spent my free time building a Haskell BEAM codegen library, and that was by far the best resource I found. I noted some other projects that helped me understand things here: https://github.com/kofigumbs/codec-beam#acknowledgements

I'm familiar with the beam book but iirc it's incomplete, in particular in terms of what OP speaks of :|
