# WIP = Word Interpreter (Also a Work In Progress :). Especially while
# it is running :P

# Micro interpreter for lists of words. Domain specific languages
# based on this will have a bit of a Forth feel, with the input stream
# segmented into words and any other structuring left to whatever
# language. Note that we have here in essence only the core dispatch
# loop, and no actual commands whatsoever, making this definitely only
# a Forth feel and not an actual Forth.

# The idea is derived from Colin McCormack's treeql processor,
# modified to require less boiler plate within the command
# implementations, at the expense of, likely, execution speed. In
# addition the interface between processor core and commands is more
# complex too.

# ### ### ### ######### ######### #########
## Requisites

package require Tcl 8.5

# Use new Tcl 8.5a6+ features for specification of allowed packages.
# We can use either snit 2.2+, or 1.3+ if snit2 is not available.
package require snit 2.2 1.3

# The run_next_* methods use set operations (x in set)
package require struct::set

# For 8.5 we are using features like word-expansion to simplify the
# various evaluations. Otherwise this is identical to v1.
