Names stand for values. They may be bound or free.
Synopsis
Names over terms
An abstract datatype of names Name a
that stand for terms of
type a
. The type a
is used as a tag to distinguish these names
from names that may stand for other sorts of terms.
Two names in a term are considered
aeq
equal when they
are the same name (in the sense of (==)
). In patterns, however,
any two names are equal if they occur in the same place within the
pattern. This induces alpha equivalence on terms in general.
Names may either be free or bound (see isFreeName
). Free names
may be extracted from patterns using
isPat
. Bound names
cannot be.
