Quotations
135 ;;Quote: denotational semantics of goto statements as continuations; rudimentary language allows goto during expression evaluation
136 ;;Quote: a continuation is the state transformation from a command to the end of the program; thrown away for gotos; value of a label
148 ;;Quote: separate mathematical semantics from the operational semantics; define imperative and dynamic features as change-of-state functions on machine states
149 ;;Quote: one machine state and multiple environments; environment only altered by the variable binding operator
