Description

After #842, the next (previous) core part of the project is the Expr. It has already has quite a good coverage of documentation, but the module is ~715 LOCs: Any of:

  • The organizational structure there obviously needed. Look at Value module and organize the Expr.
  • It may be documented along the way
  • Hook-it-up that to the Wiki design article.
  • And maybe #377. Disumburgate VarName etc..

Contributor guide

Research direction
Examine the Expr module structure and compare it to the Value module to reorganize similarly. Also consider documentation and linking to design articles.
