Something went wrong late in compilation, when working through the
'pipeline' of code-generation steps. (This should not normally happen
unless your source text is making use of '(-' and '-)' and getting that
wrong, or unless you are experimenting with non-standard pipelines.) The
pipeline looks like so:
1. read
2. parse-insertions
3. resolve-conditional-compilation
4. compile-splats
5. load-binary-kits
6. make-synoptic-module
7. shorten-wiring

Include Verbs by Zed Lopez.

Provides these phrases:

`` as a verb`` returns a verb. If it couldn't find a verb it returns "the null verb", i.e., the value 0 cast as a verb. If there's a possibility of this, your code should make a test like ``if v is the null verb`` after calling the phrase.

``say showme-meaning of `` outputs one of:
- Relation of objects: relation
- For saying only
- Property
- I don't know the meaning of

This improves on the default behavior of ``showme the meaning of ``
which outputs "relation of objects: equality relation" for verbs that are for saying only and "relation of objects: relation" for verbs that are properties.

If v is the verb to be and you use the built-in say phrase ``say "[v]"``, the output is "verb be". This extension adds ``say verb `` which outputs just "be".

All-verbs is a list of verbs variable.

Chapter 2 - Evil hard-coding of contraction verbs

To decide what verb is 're-verb: (- ConjugateVerb_74 -).
To decide what verb is 've-verb: (- ConjugateVerb_75 -).
To decide what verb is aren't-verb: (- ConjugateVerb_76 -).
To decide what verb is can't-verb: (- ConjugateVerb_77 -).
To decide what verb is haven't-verb: (- ConjugateVerb_78 -).
To decide what verb is don't-verb: (- ConjugateVerb_79 -).
To decide what verb is mustn't-verb: (- ConjugateVerb_80 -).
To decide what verb is mightn't-verb: (- ConjugateVerb_81 -).
To decide what verb is mayn't-verb: (- ConjugateVerb_82 -).
To decide what verb is wouldn't-verb: (- ConjugateVerb_83 -).
To decide what verb is couldn't-verb: (- ConjugateVerb_84 -).
To decide what verb is shouldn't-verb: (- ConjugateVerb_85 -).
To decide what verb is won't-verb: (- ConjugateVerb_86 -).

Chapter 3 - Load-all-verbs

To load-all-verbs:
repeat with v running through verbs begin;
add v to all-verbs;
end repeat;
add 're-verb to all-verbs;
add 've-verb to all-verbs;
add aren't-verb to all-verbs;
add can't-verb to all-verbs;
add haven't-verb to all-verbs;
add don't-verb to all-verbs;
add mustn't-verb to all-verbs;
add mightn't-verb to all-verbs;
add mayn't-verb to all-verbs;
add wouldn't-verb to all-verbs;
add couldn't-verb to all-verbs;
add shouldn't-verb to all-verbs;
add won't-verb to all-verbs;

Chapter 4 Verb -- that's what's happenin'

To decide what verb is (T - a text) as a verb:
let t be T in lower case;
repeat with v running through all-verbs begin;
if t is "[verb v]", decide on v;
end repeat;
decide on the null verb.

chapter 5 Say verb

[ If V is a verb, say V outputs the verb with "verb" in front, e.g.,

let v be "have" as a verb;
say "[v]";

will output "verb have". This is an alternative that omits the "verb".

let v be verb have;
say "[verb v]";

will output "have".
]
To say verb (V - a verb):
(- {V}(1); -).

Chapter 6 - Meaning

To say the/-- showme-meaning of (V - a verb):
showme the meaning of V.

To decide what text is the verb-meaning of (V - a verb):
if "[V]" is "verb be", decide on "Relation of objects: equality relation";
let result be "[showme-meaning of V]";
if result matches the text "relation of objects: relation", decide on "Property";
if result matches the text "relation of objects: equality relation", decide on "For saying only";
now result is line number 1 in result; [trim whitespace]
replace the text "'meaning of V' = r" in result with "R";
decide on result.
