Mike Gerwitz 9c72d397d4 design/tpl: Introduce bibliography
This starts with the Hadamard Product as an example.  It also:

  - Configures BibLaTeX with biber.
  - Renames \undef, since BibLaTeX apparently defines it.
  - Redefines the citation and url colors, since they're bright and ugly.

Mike Gerwitz d65c061b29 design/tpl: configure script (for appendix)
It's not required; TPL will fall back when missing conf.tex.

Mike Gerwitz c371d12a02 design/tpl: Remove glossary
This is an unnecessary feature to maintain right now.  I will include
symbols at the very beginning of the index, which is common in mathematics
texts, and may will add a table of common symbols in the future.

Mike Gerwitz bd454f7a7c design/tpl: The Tame Programming Language initial concept
There's a lot of change that's likely going to take place with this thing,
but it's a start.  The abstract summarizes the purpose of this---to formally
define TAME in terms of algebra, first-order logic, and [ZFC] set theory.

This came about while working on compiler changes and optimizations, since
it's difficult to ensure correctness (and discover further optimizations)
without being able to formally define the language.  The focus at the moment
is the classification system rewrite, which can be expressed in terms of
first order logic and set theory.

This commit contains essentially a POC with some carefully chosen
mathematical foundations (abstractions of which are subject to change) and a
basic representation of a subset of the classification system for scalars.
