<p class="purpose">To store and later fill requests to compile To... phrases.</p>
<p class="commentary firstcommentary"><a id="SP1" class="paragraph-anchor"></a><b>&#167;1. </b>"To..." phrases are compiled only when needed, and they can be compiled in
variant forms depending on the kinds of their arguments. Each of those forms
is compiled as a different function at runtime.<sup id="fnref:1"><a href="#fn:1" rel="footnote">1</a></sup> For example, given the
definition:
</p>
<blockquote>
<p>To judge (V - a value) against (W - a value): ...</p>
</blockquote>
<p class="commentary">the invocation:
</p>
<blockquote>
<p>judge 2 against "two";</p>
</blockquote>
<p class="commentary">would result in a request to compile a version of "to judge... against..."
with the kind <span class="extract"><span class="extract-syntax">phrase (number, text) -&gt; nothing</span></span>.
</p>
<p class="commentary">If the kind involves variables, the caller must also supply the current
values in force, so that there is no possible ambiguity in how we read K.
</p>
<p class="commentary">When we want to invoke "to judge... against...", then, we call one of the
following twp functions. It returns the iname of the function we should
call, and makes a note for later that it will need to compile that function.
</p>
<ul class="footnotetexts"><li class="footnote" id="fn:1"><p class="inwebfootnote"><sup id="fnref:1"><a href="#fn:1" rel="footnote">1</a></sup> I believe this practice is called monomorphisation, and is also how Rust
and most C++ compilers handle the same issue.
