I understand now. Well, I suggest you look at the existing parser code
for starters. Yes, it's frustrating that you can't test it on real
code yet. But it should get you most of the way towards understanding
Core. The major changes to Core that I'm trying to change the parser
etc. to implement are to do with the type system, though there are a
few other syntax changes.

Sorry it's so much up in the air. This project has been on the back
burner for many years, and I'm doing what I can to produce something
useful at this point.

Cheers,
Tim
