Rete.IR.Production (Rete v0.2.0)

A rule or a query.

t/0 types every field. Three are not obvious:

:name names the production, but the generated RHS function is rhs_name/1 of it instead — a query owns its own name in its module.
:bind comes from the classified LHS, via lhs_bindings/1. So it excludes a negation's variables, and it is the union over a disjunction's branches. A variable only some branches bind is not in every token, so the RHS reads it defensively.
:rhs is nil until the production is escaped. The engine logically inserts and truth-maintains its return value. nil or [] inserts nothing.
