;; Synopsis:
;;
;; (select-match expression
;; (pattern action+)*
;; )
;;
;; --- or ---
;;
;; (select-match expression
;; pattern => expression
;; pattern => expression
;; ...
;; )
;;
;; pattern -> constant ;egs 1, #\x, #c(1.0 1.1)
;; | symbol ;matches anything
;; | 'anything ;must be EQUAL
;; | (pattern = pattern) ;both patterns must match
;; | (#'function pattern) ;predicate test
;; | (pattern . pattern) ;cons cell
;;
;; Example
;;
;; (select-match item
;; (('if e1 e2 e3) 'if-then-else) ;(1)
;; ((#'oddp k) 'an-odd-integer) ;(2)
;; (((#'treep tree) = (hd . tl)) 'something-else) ;(3)
;; (other 'anything-else)) ;(4)
;;
;; Notes
;;
;; . Each pattern is tested in turn. The first match is taken.
;;
;; . If no pattern matches, an error is signalled.
;;
;; . Constant patterns (things X for which (CONSTANTP X) is true, i.e.
;; numbers, strings, characters, etc.) match things which are EQUAL.
;;
;; . Quoted patterns (which are CONSTANTP) are constants.
;;
;; . Symbols match anything. The symbol is bound to the matched item
;; for the execution of the actions.
;; For example, (SELECT-MATCH '(1 2 3)
;; (1 . X) => X
;; )
;; returns (2 3) because X is bound to the cdr of the candidate.
;;
;; . The two pattern match (p1 = p2) can be used to name parts
;; of the matched structure. For example, (ALL = (HD . TL))
;; matches a cons cell. ALL is bound to the cons cell, HD to its car
;; and TL to its tail.
;;
;; . A predicate test applies the predicate to the item being matched.
;; If the predicate returns NIL then the match fails.
;; If it returns truth, then the nested pattern is matched. This is
;; often just a symbol like K in the example.
;;
;; . Care should be taken with the domain values for predicate matches.
;; If, in the above eg, item is not an integer, an error would occur
;; during the test. A safer pattern would be
;; (#'integerp (#'oddp k))
;; This would only test for oddness of the item was an integer.
;;
;; . A single symbol will match anything so it can be used as a default
;; case, like OTHER above.
