     multiplication. In addition to being more efficient, it's also more powerful and
     flexible for the language to allow you to define syntax that manipulates expressions.
 
-    For example, list comprehensions can (and are) easily defined in Nomsu as:
-
-parse [%expr for %key-var in %list] as
-    result of
-        %result <- []
-        for %key-var in %list
-            add %expr to %result
-        return %result
-
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-%double-nums <- ((2 * %num) for %num in [1,2,3,4,5])
-
-
-# Naturally, Nomsu's macros are hygienic, so even though "%result" is used as a local
-    variable in the macro, there won't be any namespace collisions or confusion if you
-    use a different variable named "%result" as any (or all) of the arguments to the macro.
-
-%result <- [1,2,3,4]
-%result <- ((2*%result) for %result in %result)
-assume: %result = [2,4,6,8]
-
-# You'll find that in a lot places where a functional programmer would think to use a
-    lambda function, what they actually want to do is some metaprogramming. If you embrace
-    the metaprogramming from the start, then you can do a lot more powerful stuff.
-
-# For example, you can define a loop that operates on recursive datastructures, but still
-    has all of the normal imperative control structures:
-
-compile [stack for %var] to
-    Lua value "stack\(%var as lua id)"
-
-parse [recurse on %sub as %super] as
-    add %sub to (stack for %super)
-
-parse [for %var in recursive %iterable %body] as
-    with {(stack for %var): [%iterable]}
-        repeat while: (length of (stack for %var)) > 0
-            %var <- (remove index 1 from (stack for %var))
-            with {%val: %expr}
-                if: %val != (nil)
-                    add %val to %result
-                %body
-            === next %var ===
-        === stop %var ===
