It also lacks documentation not just of the language itself, but also of the underlying principles and implementation. This document is an attempt to formally consider certain parts of \tame{} as it undergoes redesign and reimplementation as part of the \tamer{} project. It is considered a living document---it is not likely to ever be a finished work. \end{abstract} \tableofcontents \input{sec/notation.tex} \input{sec/class.tex} \clearpage \printglossary[style=altlong4col] \printindex \end{document}
