-These notes reflect earlier thinking about the language and may not
-necessarily accurately describe the current goaljobs language.  Please
-read the documentation instead.

-## NB ##
-
-Like 'make' except:
- - Predicates can be based on arbitrary expressions, not just
-   "file X is older than file Y".
- - Rules are more flexible and encourage structuring and reuse
-   through functions.
- - Goals can be parameterized.
- - Program can run continuously to implement business rules.
-
-Differences from 'whenjobs':
- - Goals instead of variables.
- - Persistent (across session) variables exist, but are not central.
- - Doesn't use <<..>> for shell scripts (has a function 'sh' instead).
- - No daemon.
-
-Similarities to 'whenjobs':
- - Each shell script runs in its own temporary directory.
-
-Example program:
-
-  let package = "foo"
-
-  let rec goal website_updated version =
-    let tarfile = sprintf "%s-%s.tar.gz" package version in
-    let tarpath = getenv "HOME" // "html" // tarfile in
-    let url = sprintf "http://example.com/%s" tarfile in
-
-    target (url_exists url);
-
-    require (tarball_exists version);
-    require (tarball_tested version);
-
-    sh "rsync %s example.com:/html/" tarpath
-
-  and goal tarball_tested version =
-    let tarfile = sprintf "%s-%s.tar.gz" package version in
-    let tarpath = getenv "HOME" // "html" // tarfile in
-    let memkey = package ^ "_tested_" ^ version in
-
-    target (memory_exists memkey);
-
-    require (tarball_exists version);
-
-    sh "
-      tar zxf %s
-      cd %s-%s
-      ./configure
-      make
-      make check
-    " tarpath package version;
-
-    memory_set memkey "1"
-
-  and goal tarball_exists version =
-    let tarpath = getenv "HOME" // "html" // tarfile in
-    target (file_exists tarpath);
-    sh "
-      cd $HOME/repos/%s
-      git fetch
-      git archive --prefix %s-%s/ v%s | gzip > %s-t
-      mv %s-t %s
-    " package package version version tarpath tarpath tarpath
-
-  every 1 hour =
-    let version = shout "
-      cd $HOME/repos/%s
-      git fetch
-      git describe --tags --abbrev=0 --match='v*'
-    " package in
-    require (website_updated version)

-This compiles down to a command line program that can be used like this:
-
-  ./compile [-flags] [goals]
-
-The goals are not enabled automatically.  You have to do something
-(simple) to publish a goal and specify how command line arguments get
-mapped to goal arguments, since the mapping is not likely to be 1-1
-strings.  In the end you can do stuff like:
-
-  ./compile all
-  ./compile clean
-  ./compile build program  # program is a parameter
-  ./compile -my-flag       # custom flags can be defined
