+// BYOND bug workaround (VOIDCREW): DM numbers every variable name from one table, and a proc static,
+// global or local that lands on id 65535 compiles wrong. A static or global fails with "<name>: invalid
+// variable", and a local gets a false "variable defined but not used" warning and reads the wrong value.
+// Object vars and proc arguments on that id are fine. Once a build has more than 65535 names, about half
+// of all changes put some static or local on the broken id. Seen on 516.1659 and 516.1667.
+//
+// This file is included first, so its 70,000 unused var names take ids 0 to 69999, and id 65535 always
+// falls on one of them. A type holds at most about 65k vars, so they are split over seven subtypes.
+// Nothing ever makes a /datum/byond_var_id_padding. Remove this once BYOND fixes it.
