Of course one can try to analyze the generated code, but if the
definition of the language is adequate there should never be a
need to do this. Better, one might review the internal source
code of the compiler, but this also might only be a "last resort"
due to the complexity of that code. Much better is if the
documentation is clear, unambiguous and illustrated with proper
examples. I would claim that for the most part the Aldor Users
Guide meets this goal, but I admit that it bears reading more
than once... :)

BTW, most of these examples are run without generating any lisp
code.
