;;; Commentary:
;;
;;@heading SXPath: SXML Query Language
;;
;; SXPath is a query language for SXML, an instance of XML Information
;; set (Infoset) in the form of s-expressions. See @code{(sxml ssax)}
;; for the definition of SXML and more details. SXPath is also a
;; translation into Scheme of an XML Path Language,
;; @uref{http://www.w3.org/TR/xpath,XPath}. XPath and SXPath describe
;; means of selecting a set of Infoset's items or their properties.
;;
;; To facilitate queries, XPath maps the XML Infoset into an explicit
;; tree, and introduces important notions of a location path and a
;; current, context node. A location path denotes a selection of a set of
;; nodes relative to a context node. Any XPath tree has a distinguished,
;; root node -- which serves as the context node for absolute location
;; paths. Location path is recursively defined as a location step joined
;; with a location path. A location step is a simple query of the
;; database relative to a context node. A step may include expressions
;; that further filter the selected set. Each node in the resulting set
;; is used as a context node for the adjoining location path. The result
;; of the step is a union of the sets returned by the latter location
;; paths.
;;
;; The SXML representation of the XML Infoset (see SSAX.scm) is rather
;; suitable for querying as it is. Bowing to the XPath specification,
;; we will refer to SXML information items as 'Nodes':
;;@example
;; <Node> ::= <Element> | <attributes-coll> | <attrib>
;; | "text string" | <PI>
;;@end example
;; This production can also be described as
;;@example
;; <Node> ::= (name . <Nodeset>) | "text string"
;;@end example
;; An (ordered) set of nodes is just a list of the constituent nodes:
;;@example
;; <Nodeset> ::= (<Node> ...)
;;@end example
;; Nodesets, and Nodes other than text strings are both lists. A
;; <Nodeset> however is either an empty list, or a list whose head is not
;; a symbol. A symbol at the head of a node is either an XML name (in
;; which case it's a tag of an XML element), or an administrative name
;; such as '@@'. This uniform list representation makes processing rather
;; simple and elegant, while avoiding confusion. The multi-branch tree
;; structure formed by the mutually-recursive datatypes <Node> and
;; <Nodeset> lends itself well to processing by functional languages.
;;
;; A location path is in fact a composite query over an XPath tree or
;; its branch. A singe step is a combination of a projection, selection
;; or a transitive closure. Multiple steps are combined via join and
;; union operations. This insight allows us to @emph{elegantly}
;; implement XPath as a sequence of projection and filtering primitives
;; -- converters -- joined by @dfn{combinators}. Each converter takes a
;; node and returns a nodeset which is the result of the corresponding
;; query relative to that node. A converter can also be called on a set
;; of nodes. In that case it returns a union of the corresponding
;; queries over each node in the set. The union is easily implemented as
;; a list append operation as all nodes in a SXML tree are considered
;; distinct, by XPath conventions. We also preserve the order of the
;; members in the union. Query combinators are high-order functions:
;; they take converter(s) (which is a Node|Nodeset -> Nodeset function)
;; and compose or otherwise combine them. We will be concerned with only
;; relative location paths [XPath]: an absolute location path is a
;; relative path applied to the root node.
;;
;; Similarly to XPath, SXPath defines full and abbreviated notations
;; for location paths. In both cases, the abbreviated notation can be
;; mechanically expanded into the full form by simple rewriting
;; rules. In case of SXPath the corresponding rules are given as
;; comments to a sxpath function, below. The regression test suite at
;; the end of this file shows a representative sample of SXPaths in
;; both notations, juxtaposed with the corresponding XPath
;; expressions. Most of the samples are borrowed literally from the
;; XPath specification, while the others are adjusted for our running
;; example, tree1.

; Basic converters and applicators
; A converter is a function
; type Converter = Node|Nodeset -> Nodeset
; A converter can also play a role of a predicate: in that case, if a
; converter, applied to a node or a nodeset, yields a non-empty
; nodeset, the converter-predicate is deemed satisfied. Throughout
; this file a nil nodeset is equivalent to #f in denoting a failure.
; The following function implements a 'Node test' as defined in
; Sec. 2.3 of XPath document. A node test is one of the components of a
; location step. It is also a converter-predicate in SXPath.
;
; The function node-typeof? takes a type criterion and returns a function,
; which, when applied to a node, will tell if the node satisfies
; the test.
; node-typeof? :: Crit -> Node -> Boolean
;
; The criterion 'crit' is a symbol, one of the following:
; id - tests if the Node has the right name (id)
; @ - tests if the Node is an <attributes-coll>
; * - tests if the Node is an <Element>
; *text* - tests if the Node is a text node
; *PI* - tests if the Node is a PI node
; *any* - #t for any type of Node

;

; _pattern_ of applying converters. Given below is a complete set of
; such patterns that together implement XPath location path
; specification. As it turns out, all these combinators can be built
; from a small number of basic blocks: regular functional composition,
; map-union and filter applicators, and the nodeset union.
; select-kids:: Pred -> Node -> Nodeset
; Given a Node, return an (ordered) subset its children that satisfy
; the Pred (a converter, actually)
