Quotations
159 ;;Quote: things may have a datatype but not be data; e.g., an occam X channel that transports X values
159+;;Quote: many possible relationships between the properties of a datatype and the values of the datatype
159 ;;Quote: datatype has nothing to do with representation; e.g., a complex value is not an ordered pair, and an array is not a contiguous block of values
160 ;;Quote: include boolean, state, dates, times, rationals, and complex numbers as primitive datatypes; avoids representational assumptions
