-Guarded commands \[2\] are an interesting construct which can be added
-to languages. They look similar to `case` statements, but behave in a
-parallel and nondeterministic way. Each guard has a boolean value
-followed by a program which may be executed if the guard evaluates to
-true. The following shows the main syntax that guards may have.
-
-``` grammar
-e ::= if gc fi | do gc od ...
-
-gc ::= (b e) || gc
-```
-
-One reason these are interesting language constructs, is because they
-allow for the encoding of commands that may be executed when a condition
-is true, but that it isn't necessary. Often, when giving instructions,
-one does not really specify the order, just the commands that should
-eventually be executed.
-
-The guarded commands `gc` will either return a match if a boolean
-evaluates to true, or `abort`. There are two constructs that are built
-around guarded commands which adds more functionality to them.
-`if gc fi` matches one rule in the guarded statement and executes it. If
-it does not match a rule, it then acts like `abort`. `do gc od` loops
-over the guarded commands while any rule matches. If there no match is
-found, it acts like `skip`.
-
-These allow for nice encoding of common algorithms, using two other
-constructs that use the guarded commands.
