(**
	note on documentation:
	Most objects in this module are commented with an informal Oberon syntax example indicating which variables of the respective object stand for what symbol /expression etc.
	This syntax example should not be confused with a profound description of the syntax in an EBNF form, which can rather be found in the parser module.
	The informal Oberon syntax is marked with << ... >>
