)abbrev domain SYNTAX Syntax
++ Author: Gabriel Dos Reis
++ Date Created: November 10, 2007
++ Date Last Updated: November 12, 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.

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

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

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

    convert: 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).
  
    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'.

    convert(s: String): % ==

      -- ??? ideally we should have overloaded operator `per' that convert
      -- from list of syntax to syntax.  But the compiler is at the 
      -- moment defective for non-exported operations.
