Content Binding by Pattern Match
this is using AsTMa! patterns
always 'all-quantified', i.e. patterns are applied as many times as possible
this means we implicitely generate a sequence of these matches
forall [ $d is-a document ]
constraint based loop
every match makes all variables mentioned in the pattern be bound to a value
structural variables
are bound to 'items', i.e. (c)maplets
string variables
are bound to ... strings
variables for simple things
$a
are bound only to one value at a time
forall $a [ * is-a document ] ...
variables for list things
@s
are bound to all values in the match
forall @a [ * is-a document ]
