/**
* Exclusive-or gate: true if either a is true and b is false, or
* a is false and b is true; false otherwise.
* QUESTION: how can the simulator execute this program properly without
* HDL implementations of the underlying Not, And, and Or chip-parts?
* Answer: since the demo folder contains no Not.hdl, And.hdl and Or.hdl
* files, the simulator reverts to using their built-in implementations.
