+GENERAL FUNCTOR WEB STRUCTURE
+
+The net of gates, signals and resolvers is formed from the input
+design. The basic structure is wrapped around the nexus, which is
+represented by the ivl_nexus_t.
+
+Each nexus represents a resolved value. The input of the nexus is fed
+by a single driver. If the nexus in the design has multiple drivers,
+the drivers are first fed into a resolver (or a tree of resolvers) to
+form a single output that is the nexus.
+
+The nexus, then, feeds its output to the inputs of other gates, or to
+the .net objects in the design.
