-- Natools.S_Expressions.Conditionals.Generic_Evaluate provides an          --
-- evaluation function based on elementary names and functions, allowing    --
-- boolean combination of them.                                             --
-- For example Simple_Evaluate might evaluate the word "is_empty", while    --
-- Parameteric_Evaluate might check "contains", then Generic_Evaluate       --
-- handles expressions like:                                                --
-- (or is-empty (contains part_1) (and (not is-empty) (contains part_2)))   --
