File doc/parts/dev_dsl_parameter.inc — part of check-in [eed0701b51] at 2013-11-28 22:35:55 on branch trunk — Moved old docs into an attic. Completed the todos, except very minor parts. Includes backend example, reserved blocks. Added, completed DSL informaton, mainly where to find them, and how DSL commands map to methods. (user: andreask size: 1147)

[para] The parameter DSL is implemented in [package cmdr::parameter].

[para] The specification is supplied with the instance constructor and
processed immediately. This is different from officers and privates
which defer processing until use. When a parameter is declared the
containing private is in use, and so is the parameter. Thus no delay.

[para] The DSL commands map to instance methods as shown below:

[list_begin definitions]
[def [cmd alias]]         [method Alias]
[def [cmd default]]       [method Default]
[def [cmd defered]]       [method Defered]
