That is not an easy trick... I'm not saying it is impossible, but conceivably the most reliable description of what this algorithm achieves may
be the statement of the algorithm itself.If the specification does keep the operational approach, it would be nice, in my view, if the Waddell algebra could be updated for R6RS and included as part of the specification.
