Tuple fields have no ordering guarantees. All bindings are immutable and
can not be reassigned to once defined.
### Lists
Lists are an ordered collection of elements. Lists can be indexed using dotted selectors. List indexes start at 0.

### Variables
UCG can reference a binding using variables. Any named value using
