# Inside algorithm/mechanism description:
# (not for the faint hearted ;-)
#
# The argument description is parsed into a "program tree"
# It is called a "program" because it is the program used by
# the state machine interpreter that use that program to
# actually parse the arguments at run time.
#
# The general structure of a "program" is
# notation (pseudo bnf like)
#    name :== definition        defines "name" as being "definition"
#    { x y z }                  means list of x, y, and z
#    x*                         means x repeated 0 or more time
#    x+                         means "x x*"
#    x?                         means optionally x
#    x | y                      means x or y
#    "cccc"                     means the literal string
#
#    program        :== { programCounter programStep* }
#
#    programStep    :== program | singleStep
#
#    programCounter :== {"P" integer+ }
#
#    singleStep     :== { instruction parameters* }
#
#    instruction    :== single element list
#
# (the difference between singleStep and program is that \
#   llength [lindex $program 0] >= 2
# while
#   llength [lindex $singleStep 0] == 1
# )
#
# And for this application:
#
#    singleStep     :== { instruction varname {hasBeenSet currentValue} type
#                         typeArgs help }
#    instruction    :== "flags" | "value"
#    type           :== knowType | anyword
#    knowType       :== "string" | "int" | "boolean" | "boolflag" | "float"
#                       | "choice"
#
# for type "choice" typeArgs is a list of possible choices, the first one
# is the default value. for all other types the typeArgs is the default value
#
# a "boolflag" is the type for a flag whose presence or absence, without
# additional arguments means respectively true or false (default flag type).
#
# programCounter is the index in the list of the currently processed
# programStep (thus starting at 1 (0 is {"P" prgCounterValue}).
# If it is a list it points toward each currently selected programStep.
# (like for "flags", as they are optional, form a set and programStep).

# Performance/Implementation issues
# ---------------------------------
# We use tcl lists instead of arrays because with tcl8.0
# they should start to be much faster.
# But this code use a lot of helper procs (like Lvarset)
# which are quite slow and would be helpfully optimized
# for instance by being written in C. Also our struture
# is complex and there is maybe some places where the
# string rep might be calculated at great exense. to be checked.
