; The fundamental comprehension do-ec
; ==========================================================================
;
; All eager comprehensions are reduced into do-ec and
; all generators are reduced to :do. 
;
; We use the following short names for syntactic variables
;   q    - qualifier
;   cc   - current continuation, thing to call at the end;
;          the CPS is (m (cc ...) arg ...) -> (cc ... expr ...)
;   cmd  - an expression being evaluated for its side-effects
;   expr - an expression
;   gen  - a generator of an eager comprehension
;   ob   - outer binding
;   oc   - outer command
;   lb   - loop binding
;   ne1? - not-end1? (before the payload)
;   ib   - inner binding
;   ic   - inner command
;   ne2? - not-end2? (after the payload)
;   ls   - loop step
;   etc  - more arguments of mixed type


; (do-ec q ... cmd)
;   handles nested, if/not/and/or, begin, :let, and calls generator 
;   macros in CPS to transform them into fully decorated :do.
;   The code generation for a :do is delegated to do-ec:do.

; (:while-1 cc test (:do ...))
;    modifies the fully decorated :do-generator such that it
;    runs while test is a true value. 
;       The original implementation just replaced ne1? by
;    (and ne1? test) as follows:
;
;      (define-syntax :while-1
;        (syntax-rules (:do)
;          ((:while-1 cc test (:do olet lbs ne1? ilet ne2? lss))
;           (:do cc olet lbs (and ne1? test) ilet ne2? lss) )))
;
; Bug #1:
;    Unfortunately, this code is wrong because ne1? may depend
;    in the inner bindings introduced in ilet, but ne1? is evaluated
;    outside of the inner bindings. (Refer to the specification of
;    :do to see the structure.) 
;       The problem manifests itself (as sunnan@handgranat.org 
;    observed, 25-Apr-2005) when the :list-generator is modified:
; 
;      (do-ec (:while (:list x '(1 2)) (= x 1)) (display x)).
;
;    In order to generate proper code, we introduce temporary
;    variables saving the values of the inner bindings. The inner
;    bindings are executed in a new ne1?, which also evaluates ne1?
;    outside the scope of the inner bindings, then the inner commands
;    are executed (possibly changing the variables), and then the
;    values of the inner bindings are saved and (and ne1? test) is
;    returned. In the new ilet, the inner variables are bound and
;    initialized and their values are restored. So we construct:
;
;     (let (ob .. (ib-tmp #f) ...)
;       oc ...
;       (let loop (lb ...)
;         (if (let (ne1?-value ne1?)
;               (let ((ib-var ib-rhs) ...)
;                 ic ...
;                 (set! ib-tmp ib-var) ...)
;               (and ne1?-value test))
;             (let ((ib-var ib-tmp) ...)
;               /payload/
;               (if ne2?
;                   (loop ls ...) )))))
; 
; Bug #2:
;    Unfortunately, the above expansion is still incorrect (as Jens-Axel 
;    Soegaard pointed out, 4-Jun-2007) because ib-rhs are evaluated even
;    if ne1?-value is #f, indicating that the loop has ended.
;       The problem manifests itself in the following example:
;
;      (do-ec (:while (:list x '(1)) #t) (display x))
;
;    Which iterates :list beyond exhausting the list '(1).
;
;    For the fix, we follow Jens-Axel's approach of guarding the evaluation
;    of ib-rhs with a check on ne1?-value.
