    1616pattern and can be easily enhanced to accept other sequence types as
    1717well, vectors, strings, arrays, or what have you. All this sequence
    18 types can be nested and mixed as you need it. This flexibility is made
    19 possible by one generic function, bind-listify*, which can add three
    20 (or four) procedures, seq?, seq-car, seq-cdr (and possibly seq-null?)
    21 to its local database and thus supplying support for a new sequence type.
    22 
    23 The fundamental bind macro is given in two forms, whith and without a
    24 body. The former is a variant of Common Lisp's destructuring-bind, the
    25 latter simply set!s pattern variables to the corresponding sequence
    26 values.
     18types can be nested and mixed as you need it.
     19
     20This version uses the sequence routines from simple-sequences and is
     21based again on Paul Graham's dbind (On Lisp, p. 232), a version of
     22Common Lisp's destructuring-bind.
     23
     24But this version of dbind supports setters as well, using dbind without
     25body. The reason to put it all in one huge macro is, that both variants
     26use a common set of subroutines, which are implemented within the macro
     27body. I could have put it into a helper module to be imported by syntax,
     28but this subroutines are without interest outside of dbind.
     29
     30Other enhancements include length checks of sequences, a wildcard, _, which
     31matches everything and binds nothing, literals, which match only
     32themselfs but can't of course be bound, and dots, which are extensions of
     33ellipses: two dots accept zero or one items of the same shape as the
     34nested list to its left, and four dots accept only non-empty nested
     35lists.
     36
     37Note, that dbind is not exported, bind and bind! are exported instead.

    3142Here, a pattern, pat, is either
    … …  
    3647* a pair of patterns.
    3748
    38 where dotted lists (i.e list patterns followed by two, tree or four dots)
    39 are new in version 4.0.
    40 
    41 seq is a nested sequence expression, i.e. a mixture of pseudolists,
    42 vectors and strings (after having added string and vector support to a
    43 generic transformer procedure, bind-listify*). This transformer procedure
    44 is used to transform seq into a nested list.
     49where dotted lists (i.e nested list patterns followed by two, tree or
     50four dots) are new since version 4.0, and seq is a nested sequence
     51expression, i.e. a mixture of pseudolists, vectors and strings. Other
     52sequence types can be added by means of sequence-db, which is reexported
     53from simple-sequences.
    4554
    4655Patterns are used to control the destructuring of sequences, bind
    47 pattern variables (i.e. symbols in pat except the wildcard, _, which
    48 matches everything, but binds nothing) to matching subexpressions of seq
    49 and check if literals in pat are equal to matching subexpressions in seq.
     56pattern variables to corresponding subexpressions of seq, controlling
     57their length and checking if literals match themselfs. Then either the
     58body is executed in this context, or the pattern variables are set! to
     59the values of the corresponding subexpression.
    5060Since the wildcard binds nothing, it can appear multiple times in the
    5161same macro.
    5262
    53 Dots might not only follow patterns but also expressions.
    54 Their meaning is
    55 
    56 * two dots: the expression to the left appears zero or one times,
    57 * three dots: zero or many times,
    58 * four dots: one or many times.

     71database processing:
     72the first resets the database to the standard with
     73lists, pairs, vectors and strings,
     74the second returns the vector of handlers as well as the discriminator,
     75the third adds a new database record either at the end or before the
     76pos? discriminator.
     77A record cosists of a discriminator, seq?, and a vector with items
     78seq-lenth, seq-ref, seq-tail and seq-maker patterned after vectors.
     79Note, that the last record can handle atoms, albeit it is not a
     80sequence.
     81This routine is reexported from simple-sequences.
