 14.2 The Representation and Use of Procedures
 =============================================
 
 This section introduces the basics of using and creating Scheme
 procedures.  It discusses the representation of procedures as just
 another kind of Scheme value, and shows how procedure invocation
 expressions are constructed.  We then explain how `lambda' is used to
 create new procedures, and conclude by presenting the various shorthand
 forms of `define' that can be used instead of writing an explicit
 `lambda' expression.
