I'm dropping all mention of 'recipe' terminology from the Readme. That
way I hope to avoid further bike-shedding discussions while I very
slowly decide on the right terminology with my students.
I could be smarter in my error messages and use 'recipe' when code uses
it and 'function' otherwise. But what about other words like ingredient?
It would all add complexity that I'm not yet sure is worthwhile. But I
do want separate experiences for veteran programmers reading about Mu on
github and for people learning programming using Mu.
Just one tangle of dependencies left in the transforms. Untangling it
will require one more region: for transforms modifying types (inside
instructions).
In general you only want to specify one transform in terms of
(before/after) another if the other direction wouldn't work. Otherwise
try to make it work by just pushing transforms at the start/end of the
list.
