Structured Programming in PS

Show key headers only | View raw

I hope to kick off some fun with this nice inflammatory
subject line. Revisiting the ideas from some recent posts,
I decided to combine them all together into a mishmash.

There are 3 layers or strata of definitions which supplement
and/or depend upon the previous layer. But all three together
enable the nice syntax illustrated in the final block.
No multi-dispatch, but a nice syntax for typechecking arguments
IMO.

The first block defines the fundamental notion of 'pairs', ie.
an executable array which is dumped and fed to <<exch>> to
produce a dictionary. 'pairs-begin' does a 'begin' on this 
dictionary, whereas 'pairs-def' instead iterates through
and defines each pair in the current dictionary. 

Any name which begins with @ is treated specially and executed 
when encountered. You can see this with the @add in computing
the value of 'var'.

Since I'm not using dictionary-vs-array to determine what type
of function to build, I chose to use strings for the more 
complex definitions. This required a 'fortokens' control structure
to iterate through the string contents.
