Very first example in the docs is not working DSSL2 #24

Closed stamourv closed 4 years ago

stamourv commented 4 years ago

The very first DSSL2 code example in the docs (root insertion in a BST) refers to a number of undefined functions (e.g., empty?, new_node, fix_size). So it's not actually a working example that someone could just copy and run. That's not great for the first example someone sees...

Especially confusing is the use of empty?, which looks like a function that could plausibly be provided by the language. I just had a student assume (possibly based on that example) that DSSL2 provided an empty? function, which it does not.
