## experimental compiler to translate programs written in a generic
## expression-oriented language called 'lambda' into Mu

# incomplete; code generator not done
# potential enhancements:
#   symbol table
#   poor man's macros
#     substitute one instruction with multiple, parameterized by inputs and products
