**  This file contains the functions of the immediate interpreter package.
**
**  The immediate interpreter package  is  the part  of the interpreter  that
**  interprets code immediately (while it is read).  Its functions are called
**  from the reader.  When it encounters  constructs that it cannot interpret
**  immediately, it switches into coding mode, and  delegates the work to the
**  coder.
