The point to realize here is that this feature in GNAT
duplicates the full semantics and also somewhat the syntax
of another complex language (SNOBOL-4). You cannot expect
to begin to understand code using this feature without putting
in the effort to learn this language (which is not trivial).
The 20 page tutorial in g-spipat.ads is a bare introduction
to the language, but is only that. To fully use this feature,
if you are not familiar with SNOBOL-4, you probably need to
read some other SNOBOL-4 materials :-)
