Message from Saint Nicklaus --
| This method of constructing language processors by 'stepwise refinement',
| or rather stepwise 'enrichment', is highly recommended. It permits the
| designer to deal exclusively with a selected aspect of language processing
| before taking into account other aspects, and hence it facilitates the
| task of verifying the correctness of a translator program, or at least
| maintaining a high confidence level throughout the program's development.
