22 * By popular demand, we define a struct to represent an expression.
23 * This will no doubt mutate as expressions become baroque.
25 * Currently, we support expressions like "foo OP bar + 42". In other
26 * words we permit a (possibly undefined) symbol, a (possibly
27 * undefined) symbol and the operation used to combine the symbols,
28 * and an (absolute) augend. RMS says this is so we can have 1-pass
29 * assembly for any compiler emissions, and a 'case' statement might
30 * emit 'undefined1 - undefined2'.
32 * The type of an expression used to be stored as a segment. That got
33 * confusing because it overloaded the concept of a segment. I added
34 * an operator field, instead.
