Hi Martin,

I'm a bit disappointed by your pamphlet. It doesn't have any references to external literature. You don't even mention something as useful as
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/De_Bruijn_index.

Obviously, your Lambda domain implements lambda calculus with and without variables. But without any explanation, your representation:

https://github.com/hemmecke/fricas-svn/blob/master/src/algebra/computation.spad.pamphlet#L1263

  Rep := Union(_
         boundTerm:Record(varBound:NNI),_
         freeTerm:UT,_
         compoundTerm:Record(c1:%, c2:%),_
         lambdaTerm:Record(c3:%, nm:UT)_
         )

Does not really look like the grammar from wikipedia

    M, N, ... ::= n | M N | lambda M

Would be nice to actually describe your choice for this representation more carefully. That would be the idea of literate programming.

Ralf
