--%  main algorithms for canCoerceFrom and coerceInteractive

-- coerceInteractive and canCoerceFrom are the two coercion functions
-- for $InteractiveMode. They translate RN, RF and RR to QF I, QF P
-- and RE RN, respectively, and call coerceInt or canCoerce, which
-- both work in the same way (e.g. coercion from t1 to t2):

-- 1. they try to coerce t1 to t2 directly (tower coercion), and, if
--   this fails, to coerce t1 to the last argument of t2 and embed
--   this last argument into t2. These embedding functions are now only
--   defined in the algebra code. (RSS 2-27-87)

-- 2. the tower coercion looks whether there is any applicable local
--   coercion, which means, one defined in boot or in algebra code.
--   If there is an applicable function from a constructor, which is
--   inside the type tower of t1, to the top level constructor of t2,
--   then this constructor is bubbled up inside t1. This means,
--   special coercion functions (defined in boot) are called, which
--   commute two constructors in a tower. Then the local coercion is
--   called on these constructors, which both are on top level now.

-- example:
-- let t1 = A B C D E (short for (A (B (C (D (E))))), where A ... E are
--   type constructors), and t2 = F D G H I J
-- there is no coercion from t1 to t2 directly, so we try to coerce
--   t1 to s1 = D G H I J, the last argument of t2
-- we create the type s2 = A D B C E and call a local coercion A2A
--   from t1 to s2, which, by recursively calling coerce, bubbles up
--   the constructor D
-- then we call a commute coerce from s2 to s3 = D A B C E and a local
--   coerce D2D from s3 to s1
-- finally we embed s1 into t2, which completes the coercion t1 to t2

-- the result of canCoerceFrom is TRUE or NIL
-- the result of coerceInteractive is a object or NIL (=failed)
-- all boot coercion functions have the following result:
-- 1. if u=$fromCoerceable$, then TRUE or NIL
-- 2. if the coercion succeeds, the coerced value (this may be NIL)
-- 3. if the coercion fails, they throw to a catch point in
--      coerceByFunction
