Issue to track how to organize the library 😄

@RolfHuisman suggested on a twitch discussion that maybe calling the implicit circuit "Staircase" and @cgranade suggested cascade.

@glassnotes gave a great tl;dr on extrinsic v. intrinsic:

Extrinsic is like there's a separate set of qubits somewhere storing the stuff "externally". Intrinsic, as you said, generates it "on demand" without having them stored elsewhere.

We also discussed the comparison of extrinsic v. intrinsic as being like a generator v. a collector.

I think we have made enough progress on this for now, I'll close this.
