UNFINISHED: Years-long uncommitted changes

These changes have been sitting here uncommitted for a almost a couple of
years now.  It's become clear that, while this project deeply interests me,
I do not have time for it.  Implementing a full-fledged Scheme is simply not
something I have time to do.

The original goal of this project is also something I'm still interested in,
but will not have time to do any time soon.  But it has been folded into
broader, more grand ideas.

I hope that this will, at the very least, be interested to someone else.  It
is terribly lacking in certain cases, e.g. it does not even implement pairs
properly, because I never needed to.

See also https://github.com/google/schism, which compiles to WASM.

Happy hacking!

**This project is very incomplete, has stalled, and is unlikely to be
completed.**
Ulambda Scheme (also abbreviated "Y Scheme") is a self-hosting Scheme.
The primary compiler target is JavaScript.
There's a lot more to be said, but that story will evolve over time.

## Bootstrapping
Ulambda is designed to be bootstrappable by anyone in the environment in
which it is designed to run: the web browser. Alternatively, it can be
bootstrapped using Node.js.
### Via Web Browser
Simply visit `bootstrap/bootstrap.html` in a modern browser and follow the
provided instructions.
You can also view it at <https://mikegerwitz.com/ulambda/bootstrap.html>.
### Via Node.js
```
$ ./autogen.sh && ./configure && make
```
## Current State
As mentioned above, this project has stalled. The current state of
development is summarized in the Viability Test Suite in
[`bootstrap/rebirth/test.scm`](./bootstrap/rebirth/test.scm).

;;; Commentary:
;;; THIS IS BOOTSTRAP CODE INTENDED FOR USE ONLY IN REBIRTH.
;;;
;;;
;;; This defines the lexer, parser, and core of the compiler. Note that
;;; most of the actual compiling happens with the macros defined in
;;; `es.scm'.
;;;
;;; The core structure persists from Birth, along with much of the original
;;; code. Certain parts have been simplified or moved into other files,
;;; while other parts have been extended.
;;;
;;; Code:
;; Convert source input into a string of tokens.
;;
;; This is the lexer. Whitespace is ignored. The grammar consists of
;; simple s-expressions.
;;
;; Tokens are produced with `make-token'. The source SRC will be
;; left-truncated as input is processed. POS exists for producing metadata
;; for error reporting---it has no impact on parsing.
;;
;; This implementation was originally recursive and immutable, but the stack
;; was being exhausted, so it was refactored into an inferior
;; implementation. Note the use of `es:while' and `es:break'---these are
;; quick fixes to the problem of stack exhaustion in browsers (where we have
;; no control over the stack limit); proper tail call support will come
;; later when we have a decent architecture in place.
;;
;; The result is a list of tokens. See `token' for the format.
