Computations
The CBS library provides funcons for expressing and composing various kinds of computations. A funcon takes a sequence of values and/or computations as arguments, and may compute a sequence of values.
A value argument is the result of a previous computation, and can be inspected; a computation argument, in contrast, can only be executed or ignored.
A computation may terminate normally or abnormally, or never terminate. Values (and sequences of values) correspond to immediately terminating computations.
Normal computations
Funcons for expressing normal computations compute (sequences of) values on normal termination. They propagate abnormal termination of their arguments.
Abnormal computations
Funcons for expressing abnormal computations may terminate abruptly without computing values; they also include handlers for abnormal termination.
