; Generic procedure package

; This is written in fairly portable Scheme.  It needs:
;   Scheme 48 low-level macros (explicit renaming), in one small place.
;   (ASSERTION-VIOLATION who message arg ...)  - signal an error.
;   Record package and DEFINE-RECORD-TYPES macro.
;   An object :RECORD-TYPE which is the record type descriptor for
;     record type descriptors (record types are assumed to be records).
;     This wouldn't be difficult to change.
;   A RECORD? predicate (not essential - only for defining a DISCLOSE
;     method for records).

; --------------------
; Simple types.
; More specific types have higher priorities.  The priorities are used
; to establish the ordinary in which type predicates are called.
