Some High-level Language Constructs for Data of Type Relation
Summary: Introduces a relation-typed data model in high-level languages, with three constructs: a repetition statement driven by relations, predicates as a generalized boolean, and a relation constructor from predicates. Stepwise development from elementary relational ops; designed to fit into PASCAL with minimal new concepts.
