## The active target
During compilation (!) of a source file, the compiler maintains a compile-time register called
the *active target* (often simply the "target"), containing the *name* of a variable that will
be used at runtime to select an [entity reference](../glossary.md#reference) to act upon. At
the beginning of compilation, it is set to the name `config`, so that whatever is bound to
`config` in the initial environment at runtime is used as the default target for targeted
*Instruction*s.

to act upon. At the beginning of compilation, it is set to the name `config`, so that whatever

targeted *Instruction*s.
This is one of the awkward parts of the current language design.
