;;
;; We start by defining, once and for all, a list of cons cells consisting of
;; regexps which will match the symbols - which allow an arbitrary number of
;; other letters to appear after them (so that the user can optionally complete
;; the month and day names; this is an extension of Vixie) - and the value which
;; is to replace the symbol.
;;
;; The procedure then takes a string, and then for each symbol in the
;; parse-symbols list attempts to locate an instance and replace it with an
;; ASCII representation of the value it stands for. The procedure returns the
;; modified string. (Note that each symbol can appear only once, which meets the
;; Vixie specifications technically but still allows silly users to mess things
;; up).

;; This is a procedure which returns a procedure which computes the next time a
;; command should run after the current time, based on the information in the

;;
;; We start by computing a list of time-spec objects (described above) for the
;; minute, hour, date, month, year and weekday components of the overall time
;; specification [1]. When we create the return procedure, it is this list to
;; which references to a time-spec-list will be bound. It will be used by the
;; returned procedure [3] to compute the next time a function should run. Any
;; 7's in the weekday component of the list (the last one) are folded into 0's
;; (both values represent sunday) [2]. Any 0's in the month-day component of the
;; list are removed (this allows a solitary zero to be used to indicate that
;; jobs should only run on certain days of the _week_) [2.1].
;;
;; The returned procedure itself:-
;;
;;   Starts by obtaining the current broken-down time [4], and fixing it to
;;   ensure that it is an acceptable value, as follows. Each component from the
;;   biggest down is checked for acceptability, and if it is not acceptable it
;;   is bumped to the next acceptable value (this may cause higher components to
;;   also be bumped if there is range wrap-around) and all the lower components
;;   are set to -1 so that it can successfully be bumped up to zero if this is
;;   an allowed value. The -1 value will be bumped up subsequently to an allowed
;;   value [5].
;;
;;   Once it has been asserted that the current time is acceptable, or has been
;;   adjusted to one minute before the next acceptable time, the minute
;;   component is then bumped to the next acceptable time, which may ripple
;;   through the higher components if necessary [6]. We now have the next time
;;   the command needs to run.
;;
;;   The new time is then converted back into a UNIX time, and returned [7].
