Show grammar and reduction rules for language so far, show how stepper
implements those rules.
[Shriram] I believe its a bad idea to show teachers the
test-case = answer
convention. Some of them want to know why the = prints out as an =,
which can lead to a useless digression. Worse, I have seen teachers
come up to and, without context, ask, "Why does DrScheme think 50 =
100?" This notation turns out to be the culprit. It sometimes
transpires that all along, since they saw N = N, they were happy with
it, but never really understood what was being printed after all.
In general, I think it's a useless convention.
[Kathi] The (equal? ) wasn't right either. It
seemed to introduce far more confusion than the = version ever did.
