/*
* By popular demand, we define a struct to represent an expression.
* This will no doubt mutate as expressions become baroque.
*
* Currently, we support expressions like "foo-bar+42".
* In other words we permit a (possibly undefined) minuend, a
* (possibly undefined) subtrahend and an (absolute) augend.
* RMS says this is so we can have 1-pass assembly for any compiler
* emmissions, and a 'case' statement might emit 'undefined1 - undefined2'.
*
* To simplify table-driven dispatch, we also have a "segment" for the
* entire expression. That way we don't require complex reasoning about
* whether particular components are defined; and we can change component
* semantics without re-working all the dispatch tables in the assembler.
* In other words the "type" of an expression is its segment.
