// Provides for syntax sugar easing hardcoding.
// 1. concept names
// 	use declrefs(apple, is, fruit, water, has)
// 	to quickly define the named ref variables,
// 	referring always to the same named concept.
// 	the ref constructor provides for using
// 	'true' and 'false' as refs.
// 2. links
// 	links may be quickly made with
// 	apple[is = fruit, has = water]
// 	which links 'apple' by 'is' to 'fruit'
// 	and by 'has' to 'water' in one line
// 3. hyphenation
// 	refs may be hyphenated (subtracted) to
// 	produce a new ref with the conglomerate name
// 	apple-has-water.name(): "apple-has-water"
// 	this may be expanded upon.
// 4. anonymous concept creation
// 	an unnamed instance of a concept may be created with the a() or an() equivalent functions:
// 	  ref anongreenapple = an(apple)[color = green];
// 	it will be given a name such as apple-3
// 5. quick group checking
// 	the obverse of the a()/an() functions is provided
// 	by ref::isa() and ref::isan() which quickly check
// 	if there is an "is" link to the passed ref.

// reasons to use special struct:
//   the reason not to use ref directly is because we want to pass a ref to the function handler,
//   and it is easier to use if it is a bare copy.  the bare copy triggers destruction and eval.
// 	an alternate would be to add an evaluation flag to ref, but this might make it big.
// reasons to not use special struct:
//   the operator, takes a ref type and returns a ref type
