)abbrev domain SYNTAX Syntax
++ Author: Gabriel Dos Reis
++ Date Created: November 10, 2007
++ Date Last Updated: December 05, 2007
++ Description:  This domain provides a simple, general, and arguably 
++ complete representation of Spad programs as objects of a term algebra
++ built from ground terms of type boolean, integers, foats, symbols, 
++ and strings.  This domain differs from InputForm in that it represents
++ any entity from a Spad program, not just expressions.
++ Related Constructors: Boolean, Integer, Float, symbol, String, SExpression.
++ See Also: SExpression.
++ Fixme: Provide direct support for boolean values, arbritrary 
++        precision float point values.
Syntax(): Public == Private where
  Public ==> CoercibleTo(OutputForm) with
    convert: % -> SExpression
      ++ convert(s) returns the s-expression representation of a syntax.

    convert: SExpression -> %
      ++ convert(s) converts an s-expression to syntax.  Note, when `s'
      ++ is not an atom, it is expected that it designates a proper list,
      ++ e.g. a sequence of cons cell ending with nil.

    coerce: Integer -> %
      ++ convert(i) injects the integer value `i' into the syntax domain

    coerce: DoubleFloat -> %
      ++ convert(f) injects the float value `f' into the syntax domain

    coerce: Symbol -> %
      ++ convert(s) injects the symbol `s' into the syntax domain.

    coerce: String -> %
      ++ convert(s) injects the string value `s' into the syntax domain

    buildSyntax: (Symbol, List %) -> %
      ++ buildSyntax(op, [a1, ..., an]) builds a syntax object for op(a1,...,an).
  
    buildSyntax: (%, List %) -> %
      ++ buildSyntax(op, [a1, ..., an]) builds a syntax object for op(a1,...,an).

    getOperator: % -> Union(Integer, DoubleFloat, Symbol, String, %)
      ++ getOperator(x) returns the operator, or tag, of the syntax `x'.
      ++ The return value is itself a syntax if `x' really is an 
      ++ application of a function symbol as opposed to being an
      ++ atomic ground term.
 

    getOperands: % -> List %
      ++ getOperands(x) returns the list of operands to the operator in `x'.

    _case: (%, Domain) -> Boolean
      ++ x case t returns true if x really is of type t, e.g.
      ++ Integer, DoubleFloat, Symbol, String, or %.
