;; Generate a geometric sequence. This is used in synth-control.f and
;; serves as an example of how to write a custom code generator in
;; scheme, and include it in a .f project.

;; (*) Note that assembly-time expressions might not be available at
;; compile time. The reason for this is that they could depend on
;; not-yet-assigned target code addresses. The form 'tscat: will
;; handle these evaluations correctly, constructing an appropriate
;; assembly-time expression. However, if a numeric value is necessary
;; for code generation, it needs to be forced explicitly using
;; 'target-value->number.

;; (**) The 'list->macro function glues together constants interleaved
;; with some compilation macro, and produces a macro. This macro is
;; subsequently used as a delegate for the geo-seq invocation.
