HELP MEANING Steven Hardy, March 1982
Updated A.Sloman Feb 1991
This identifier is obsolete and the corresponding procedure has been
withdrawn.
Anyone wishing to use it can do something like
define meaning =
newproperty([], 100, undef, true)
enddefine;
This will define a procedure which takes one argument which can be
anything, and returns one result. The default result is UNDEF. However,
-meaning- will have an updater, which can be used to change the result
for future use.
meaning("cat") =>
** undef
"noun" -> meaning("cat");
meaning("cat") =>
** noun
[noun animal vertebrate] -> meaning("cat");
...
meaning(999) =>
** undef
See HELP * NEWPROPERTY, * NEWASSOC, * NEWMAPPING, * NEWANYPROPERTY.
