 (provide remove-complex-opera*)
 
-; remove complex SUB-expressions:
-; of course complex expression are possible
-; but their argument can only be either
-; - number
-; - symbol
-; - `(read)
-; temporary variables are introduced to make this possible
-; with the caveat that a binding should never associate
-; an existing symbol to a temporary
-; (Invariant of rco-arg)
+; remove complex sub-expression
+; the resulting code is either
+; - (read)
+; - a number literal
+; - a symbol
+; the three above are called in the following "simple terms"
+; - (- x) where x is a simple term
+; - (+ x y) where x and y are simple terms
+; - (let ([var y]) z) where y and z are expressions
