     pdae - programmer-defined argument evaluation

DDDDEEEESSSSCCCCRRRRIIIIPPPPTTTTIIIIOOOONNNN
     These procedures are taken mainly from TR 82-16, which
     describes how co-expressions can be used to model the
     built-in argument evaluation regime of Icon and also provide
     new ones. Some procedures have been corrected or improved.

     Because of the handling of the scope of local identifiers in
     co-expressions, expressions in programmer-defined argument
     evaluation regimes cannot communicate through local identif-
     iers. The results produced by programmer-defined argument
     evaluation regimes are always dereferenced. Some construc-
     tions, such as bbbbrrrreeeeaaaakkkk and rrrreeeettttuuuurrrrnnnn, cannot be used in arguments
     to programmer-defined argument evaluation regimes. See TR
     82-8 for details of these problems.

     At most 10 arguments can be used in the invocation of a
     programmer-defined argument evaluation regime. This limit
     can be increased by modifying CCCCaaaallllllll.
