Mysterious seekLabel deficiency/ies #72

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 
In NiceInductionPrinciple.pig, there is this question:

"Why doesn't recursion spotting work if these holes are substituted out?"

And that's an excellent question.

This is probably related to 
[http://code.google.com/p/epigram/issues/detail?id=70].

This was just my inability to use the correct syntax for function application 
in lists. Recall that [a b] is a (right-nested) list of two elements, rather 
than a single element (a applied to b), which is written [(a b)]. If you write 
the term correctly, recursion spotting works fine in this case. Closing this 
issue as #70 covers the more general problem with recursion spotting.
