I talked to someone who told me that Pop has syntax extension capabilities.
I am interested in adding a language (MUMPS) to the languages suported in 
a POPLOG system.  From what I know of Pop, Prolog, and ML, it looks like
most of the system level support I would expect to successfully implement
a MUMPS system is already provided in a typical Poplog implementation.

What do I need to know to examine the feasibility of this project?
I am already very familiar with MUMPS. (I am my company's representative to
the MUMPS standard making body)

Where do I find out more about Poplog's syntax extension capabilities?

Thank you,
