+## dynamic symbols
+
+Sometimes it is convenient to provide methods and variables whose names are not known at compile time. For example, it could be external interfaces not known to library code, user-defined data fields, etc. You can use `dynamic` function to create such:

+    // val only dynamic object
+    val accessor = dynamic {

+Annotation in Lyng resembles these proposed for Javascript. Annotation is just regular functions that, if used as annotation, are called when defining a function, var, val or class. 
+
+## Function annotation
+
+When used without params, annotation calls a function with two arguments: actual function name and callable function body. Function annotation __must return callable for the function__, either what it received as a second argument (most often), or something else. Annotation name convention is upper scaled:

+# Parallelism in Lyng
+
+Lyng is built to me multithreaded where possible (e.g. all targets byt JS and wasmJS as for now)
+and cooperatively parallel (coroutine based) everywhere.
+
+In Lyng, every function, every lambda are _coroutines_. It means, you can have as many of these as you want without risking running out of memory on threads stack, or get too many threads.
+
+Depending on the platform, these coroutines may be executed on different CPU and cores, too, truly in parallel. Where not, like Javascript browser, they are still executed cooperatively. You should not care about the platform capabilities, just call `launch`:
+
+    // track coroutine call: 
+    var xIsCalled = false
+
+    // launch coroutine in parallel
+    val x = launch { 
+        // wait 10ms to let main code to be executed
+        delay(10)
+        // now set the flag
+        xIsCalled = true
+        // and return something useful:
+        "ok"
+    }
+    // corouine is launhed, but not yet executed
+    // due to delay call:
+    assert(!xIsCalled)
+    
+    // now we wait for it to be executed:
+    assertEquals( x.await(), "ok")
+
+    // now glag should be set:
+    assert(xIsCalled)
+    >>> void
+
+This example shows how to launch a coroutine with `launch` which returns [Deferred] instance, the latter have ways to await for the coroutine completion and retrieve possible result.
+
+Launch has the only argument which should be a callable (lambda usually) that is run in parallel (or cooperatively in parallel), and return anything as the result.
+
+## Synchronization: Mutex
+
+Suppose we have a resource, that could be used concurrently, a coutner in our case. If we won'r protect it, concurrent usage cause RC, Race Condition, providing wrong result:
+
+    var counter = 0
+    
+    (1..4).map { 
+        launch {
+            // slow increment:
+            val c = counter
+            delay(10)
+            counter = c + 1
+        }
+    }.forEach { it.await() }
+    assert(counter < 4)
+    >>> void
+
+The obviously wrong result is not 4, as all coroutines capture the counter value, which is 1, then sleep for 5ms, then save 1 + 1 as result. May some coroutines will pass, so it will be 1 or 2, most likely.
+
+Using [Mutex] makes it all working:
+
+    var counter = 0
+    val mutex = Mutex()
+    
+    (1..4).map { 
+        launch {
+            // slow increment:
+            mutex.withLock {
+                val c = counter
+                delay(10)
+                counter = c + 1
+            }
+        }
+    }.forEach { it.await() }
+    assertEquals(4, counter)
+    >>> void
+
+now everything works as expected: `mutex.withLock` makes them all be executed in sequence, not in parallel.
+
+
+## Completable deferred
+
+Sometimes it is convenient to manually set completion status of some deferred result. This is when [CompletableDeferred] is used:
+
+    // this variable will be completed later:
+    val done = CompletableDeferred()
+    
+    // complete it ater delay
+    launch { 
+        delay(10)
+        // complete it setting the result:
+        done.complete("ok")
+    }
+    
+    // now it is still not completed: coroutine is delayed
+    // (ot not started on sinthe-threaded platforms):
+    assert(!done.isCompleted)
+    assert(done.isActive)
+
+    // then we can just await it as any other deferred:
+    assertEquals( done.await(), "ok")
+    // and as any other deferred it is now complete:
+    assert(done.isCompleted)
+
+## True parallelism
+
+Cooperative, coroutine-based parallelism is automatically available on all platforms. Depending on the platform, though, the coroutines could be dispatched also in different threads; where there are multiple cores and/or CPU available, it means the coroutines could be exuted truly in parallel, unless [Mutex] is used:
+
+| platofrm   | multithreaded |
+|------------|---------------|
+| JVM        | yes           |
+| Android    | yes           |
+| Javascript | NO            |
+| wasmJS     | NO            |
+| IOS        | yes           |
+| MacOSX     | yes           |
+| Linux      | yes           |
+| Windows    | yes           |
+
+So it is important to always use [Mutex] where concurrent execution could be a problem (so called Race Conditions, or RC).
+
+## Yield
+
+When the coroutine is executed, on the single-threaded environment all other coroutines are suspended until active one will wait for something. Sometimes, it is undesirable; the coroutine may perform long calculations or some other CPU consuming task. The solution is to call `yield()` periodically. Unlike `delay()`, yield does not pauses the coroutine for some specified time, but it just makes all other coroutines to be executed. In other word, yield interrupts current coroutines and out it to the end of the dispatcher list of active coroutines. It is especially important on Javascript and wasmJS targets as otherwise UI thread could be blocked. 
+
+Usage example:
+
+    fun someLongTask() { // ...
+        do {
+            // execute step
+            if( done ) break
+            yield()
+        } while(true)
+    }
+
+# Data exchange for coroutines
+
+## Flow
+
+Flow is an async cold sequence; it is named after kotlin's Flow as it resembles it closely. The cold means the flow is only evaluated when iterated (collected, in Kotlin terms), before it is inactive. Sequence means that it is potentially unlimited, as in our example of glorious Fibonacci number generator:
+
+    // Fibonacch numbers flow! 
+    val f = flow {
+        println("Starting generator")
+        var n1 = 0
+        var n2 = 1
+        emit(n1)
+        emit(n2)
+        while(true) {
+            val n = n1 + n2
+            emit(n)
+            n1 = n2
+            n2 = n
+        }
+    }
+    val correctFibs = [0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89, 144, 233, 377, 610, 987, 1597, 2584, 4181, 6765]
+    println("Generation starts")
+    assertEquals( correctFibs, f.take(correctFibs.size))
+    >>> Generation starts
+    >>> Starting generator
+    >>> void
+
+Great: the generator is not executed until collected bu the `f.take()` call, which picks specified number of elements from the flow, can cancel it.
+
+Important difference from the channels or like, every time you collect the flow, you collect it anew:
+
+    var isStarted = false
+    val f = flow {
+            emit("start")
+            isStarted = true
+            (1..4).forEach { emit(it) }
+    }
+    // flow is not yet started, e.g. not got execited, 
+    // that is called 'cold':
+    assertEquals( false, isStarted )
+
+    // let's collect flow:
+    val result = []
+    for( x in f ) result += x
+    println(result)
+
+    assertEquals( true, isStarted)
+
+    // let's collect it once again, it should be the same:
+    println(f.toList())
+
+    // and again:
+    assertEquals( result, f.toList() )
+
+    >>> ["start", 1, 2, 3, 4]
+    >>> ["start", 1, 2, 3, 4]
+    >>> void
+
+Notice that flow's lambda is not called until actual collection is started. Cold flows are
+better in terms of resource consumption.
+
+Flows allow easy transforming of any [Iterable]. See how the standard Lyng library functions use it:
+
+    fun Iterable.filter(predicate) {
+        val list = this
+        flow {
+            for( item in list ) {
+                if( predicate(item) ) {
+                    emit(item)
+                }
+            }
+        }
+    }

+# Lyng serialization
+
+Lyng has builting binary bit-effective serialization format, called Lynon for LYng Object Notation. It is typed, binary, implements caching, automatic compression, variable-length ints, one-bit Booleans an many nice features. 
+
+It is as simple as:
+
+    import lyng.serialization
+
+    val text = "
+        We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, 
+        that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, 
+        that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.    
+        "
+    val encodedBits = Lynon.encode(text)
+
+    // decode bits source:
+    assertEquals( text, Lynon.decode(encodedBits) )
+    
+    // compression was used automatically
+    assert( text.length > encodedBits.toBuffer().size )
+    >>> void
+
+Any class you create is serializable by default; lynon serializes first constructor fields, then any `var` member fields:
+
+    import lyng.serialization
+
+    class Point(x,y)
+
+    val p = Lynon.decode( Lynon.encode( Point(5,6) ) )
+    
+    assertEquals( 5, p.x )
+    assertEquals( 6, p.y )
+    >>> void
+
+
+just as expected.
+
+Important is to understand that normally `Lynon.decode` wants [BitBuffer], as `Lynon.encode` produces. If you have the regular [Buffer], be sure to convert it:
+
+    buffer.toBitInput()
+
+this possibly creates extra zero bits at the end, as bit content could be shorter than byte-grained but for the Lynon format it does not make sense. Note that when you serialize [BitBuffer], exact number of bits is written. To convert bit buffer to bytes:
+
+    Lynon.encode("hello").toBuffer()
