"The proposed generalization [of ALGOL] can be summarized as the elimination of type declarations and the replacement of the procedure declaration by an assignment of a so-called quotation."

"Array declarations determine the subscript bounds of an array. From the user's point of view the subscript bounds may be regarded as redundant information, since it will become clear from the following program, which elements of an array will be used. If subscript bounds are omitted, then consequently the rectangular array will lose its dominant role: any form of array may occur. This generalization implies that arrays become completely dynamic, a feature which is highly desirable for certain classes of problems."
