Internally, “pattern-matching forms” should be translated (compiled) into cascades of “elementary tests” where code is made as efficient as possible, avoiding redundant tests; Bigloo’s “pattern matching compiler” provides this. The technique used is described in details in [QueinnecGeffroy92], and the code generated can be considered optimal (3) due to the way this “pattern compiler” was obtained.
