Compile-time Reflective ML

CRML is an implementation of compile-time reflection for a subset of ML built on top of the Standard ML of New Jersey compiler. Reflection is the "magic" that turns data into programs. Compile-time reflection allows user written functions to access data calculated during compilation to construct program representations. These representations are then transformed, by reflection, into the programs they represent. Essentially, compile-time reflection allows representations (data) calculated by compile-time evaluation to be type-checked and submitted to the compiler itself, to be turned into object code and integrated with the rest of the compiler's output.
