- * By popular demand, we define a struct to represent an expression.
- * This will no doubt mutate as expressions become baroque.
- *
- * Currently, we support expressions like "foo-bar+42".
- * In other words we permit a (possibly undefined) minuend, a
- * (possibly undefined) subtrahend and an (absolute) augend.
- * RMS says this is so we can have 1-pass assembly for any compiler
- * emissions, and a 'case' statement might emit 'undefined1 - undefined2'.
- *
- * To simplify table-driven dispatch, we also have a "segment" for the
- * entire expression. That way we don't require complex reasoning about
- * whether particular components are defined; and we can change component
- * semantics without re-working all the dispatch tables in the assembler.
- * In other words the "type" of an expression is its segment.
