-====Objective:====
-This lab is designed to transition our interpreter to a more powerful image processing engine, and to give you experience in creating new data types.
-----
-====Pre-requisite:====
-This lab builds on the previous interpreters.  In addition, to support the image processing primitives and text rendering primitives, you will need to install the ''Cairo'' and ''Images'' packages into Julia.  This is done using the Julia package management system:
-''Pkg.add("Cairo")''
-and
-''Pkg.add("Images")''
-**Note:** Julia uses Git as the foundation of their package management system.  This can create problems if your system can't access Git using a ''git://'' protocol -- this is manifest by Julia hanging when trying to install packages.  To alleviate this, please check out the following links:
-[[https://github.com/JuliaLang/julia/issues/7005]]
-[[https://github.com/JuliaLang/julia/blob/master/README.md#source-download-and-compilation]]
-----
-====Deliverable:====
-For this lab, you will expand the interpreter that you have already built, and add in a new "analysis" function that performs three different flavors of syntactic de-sugaring.
-The primary deliverable for this lab is a new Julia module.  Your module should export ''parse'', ''calc'' **and ''analyze''** functions, and two return types, ''NumVal'' and ''ClosureVal''.
-Your module should be able to do everything that your simple interpreter could do and everything that your extended interpreter can do.  However, you will use program analysis to both eliminate ''With'' nodes, and to add two new simple features.
-The ''CI7.jl'' module is available on LearningSuite, under "Content -> Julia -> Program analysis".
-Please name your module TransInt.
-----
-====Description:====
-For this lab, you will implement an ''analyze'' function similar to what we covered in class.  The ''analyze'' function accepts as input an AST, rewrites it, and returns a new AST.
-There are three rewrites you must implement:
-  - You must rewrite multi-argument ''with'' nodes to be multi-argument ''lambda'' nodes.
-  - You must create a new multi-argument ''+'' operation that is implemented with only binary ''+'' operations.
-  - You must create a new multi-argument ''and'' operation that is implemented with only ''if0'' operations.
-Each is discussed in more detail in the following sections.
-The grammar for our new language is the following:
-<code BNF>
-<OWL> ::= number
-          | (+ <OWL> <OWL> <OWL>*)   # at least two parameters, possibly infinity.  note extra star!
-          | (- <OWL> <OWL>)
-          | (* <OWL> <OWL>)
-          | (/ <OWL> <OWL>)
-          | (mod <OWL> <OWL>)
-          | (collatz <OWL>)
-          | (- <OWL>)
-          | id
-          | (if0 <OWL> <OWL> <OWL>)
-          | (with ( (id <OWL>)* ) <OWL>)
-          | (lambda (id*) <OWL>)
-          | (and <OWL> <OWL> <OWL>*)  # new operation 'and'
-          | (<OWL> <OWL>*)
-</code>
-----
-===Expanded functionality:===
-Here we discuss the three new features you must support in our language.
-**Part 1: Multi-site ''with'' -> multi-site ''lambda''**
-In class we showed how to implement ''with'' expressions using ''lambda'' expressions, but only for ''with'' and ''lambda'' expressions that involve one parameter.  For the first part of the lab, you must rewrite the AST of a program to eliminate all ''with'' nodes, even with multiple parameters, and replace them with equivalent function creation / function calls.
-Remember from class that
-<code lisp>
-(with (x 5) (+ x 1))
-</code>
-becomes
-<code lisp>
-((lambda x (+ x 1)) 5)
-</code>
-Your code should make a similar transformation for multiple-identifier ''with'' expressions to applying multiple-parameter ''lambda'' expressions.
-No changes to the grammar are necessary to support this change, and therefore, no changes to your parser from the Extended Interpreter are necessary to implement this under-the-hood syntactic rewrite. The transformation should happen in the ''analyze'' function.
-**Part 2: Addition operation with arbitrary number of parameters**
-For the second feature, you must implement a more flexible ''+'' operator.
-Specifically, instead of only two operands, the new ''+'' operator should support an arbitrary number of operands, as long as there are more than two.
-However, this will be syntactic sugar -- you should implement this using your existing binary operations.
-So, we would essentially rewrite this:
-<code lisp>
-(+ a b c d)
-</code>
-into this:
-<code lisp>
-(+ a (+ b (+ c d)))
-</code>
-Note that this involves a change to the grammar, and therefore you will need to change your parser!  You may need to change the definition of the plus node -- it can no longer by implemented as a BinOp.  The ''analyze'' function should eventually convert it to a sequence of BinOp operations only, and your ''calc'' function should handle this without change.
-**Part 3: A simple ''and'' operator**
-For the final part of this lab you will implement a simple short-circuited ''and'' operation in terms of ''if0'' calls.  The semantics of the ''and'' node is that it should return 1 iff all subexpressions evaluate to nonzero, and return 0 otherwise.  Or in other words, it should return 0 if any subexpression evaluates to zero.
-As an example, we will transform this:
-<code lisp>
-(and (+ 4 0) (- 3 3) (* 4 3))
-</code>
-into this:
-<code lisp>
-(if0 (+ 4 0)
-     (if0 (- 3 3)
-          (if0 (* 4 3)
-)))
-</code>
-Note that this is a new construct in our grammar, so you will need to create a new AST node type (call it ''And'') and parse it appropriately.  However, because it is being implemented in terms of ''if0'' calls, you will not need to modify your ''calc'' function to support it. The transformation from the ''And'' node to the ''if0'' nodes should happen in the ''analyze'' function.
