; Different cases of nodeset filtering

;------------------------------------------------
; Filtering pos-result with (position-based) predicates and combining
; a filtered pos-result into a distinct document order nodeset
;  pos-result ::= (listof pos-nodeset)
;  pos-nodeset ::= (listof (cons node order-num))
; Each pos-nodeset is a result of applying the axis to a single node in the
; input nodeset. Pos-result can be informally considered as
;  (map axis-pos input-nodeset)
; Each node in the pos-nodeset comes with its order number. An order-num is
; an integer, possibly a negative one. A node precedes another node in
; document order if the order-num of the former node is less than the order-num
; of the latter node. Equal order-nums (in different pos-nodesets) correspond
; to equal nodes.
; Each pos-nodeset is sorted in accordance with the position() of each of its
; members. Consequently, order-nums increase within pos-nodeset for forward
; XPath axes and decrease for reverse XPath axes.

; Whether pos-result in a forward order
; Return #t if in document order, #f if in reverse document order

; In this section, each function accepts 5 arguments

;  num-anc - how many ancestors are required in the context after that
;   operation
;  single-level? - for grammar rules that consume the nodeset type as input:
;   whether all nodes in the nodeset are located on the single level of the
;   tree hierarchy. If this is the case, most axes can be evaluated ealier than
;   in the general case.
;  pred-nesting - nesting of the expression being processed within predicates.
;   In particular, pred-nesting=0 denotes the outer expression, pred-nesting=1
;   denotes the expression enclosed into a predicate, pred-nesting=2 for an
;   expression that is enclosed into 2 predicates, etc
;  vars2offsets - mapping from variable names to their offsets in a var-vector
;  vars2offsets ::= (cons vacant-offset
;                         (listof (cons var-name var-offset))

;
; Polynomial-time XPath implementation with distinct document order support.
;
; The API is identical to the API of a context-based SXPath (here we even use
; API helpers from "xpath-context.scm"). For convenience, below we repeat
; comments for the API (borrowed from "xpath-context.scm").
;
; query - a query in SXPath native syntax
; location-path - XPath location path represented as a string
; ns-binding - declared namespace prefixes (an optional argument)
;  ns-binding ::= (listof (prefix . uri))
;  prefix - a symbol
;  uri - a string
; num-ancestors - number of ancestors required for resulting nodeset. Can
;  generally be omitted and is than defaulted to 0, which denotes a
;  _conventional_  nodeset. If a negative number, this signals that all
;  ancestors should be remembered in the context.
;
; Returns: (lambda (node-or-nodeset . var-binding) ...)
; var-binding - XPath variable bindings (an optional argument)
;  var-binding = (listof (var-name . value))
;  var-name - (a symbol) a name of a variable
;  value - its value. The value can have the following type: boolean, number,
;  string, nodeset. NOTE: a node must be represented as a singleton nodeset.
;
; The result of applying the latter lambda to an SXML node or nodeset is the
; result of evaluating the query / location-path for that node / nodeset.
