Or to understand some programs in it.

This is the document I produced:

https://github.com/sal55/langs/blob/master/MFeatures.md

A couple of more substantial demo programs are here: 
https://github.com/sal55/langs/tree/master/MExamples

(The bignum.m file was ported - by hand - to the bignum.c version that I 
posted recently.)

I haven't provided an implementation, which would be a 400KB binary 
'mm.exe' that runs on Windows. I can do that if somebody wants and they 
can figure out how to get it past their AV.

(There are other ways but they start to get complicated. A version for 
Linux, for an older language spec, that relies on a C backend, supplied 
as a C source file, is also a possibility, but that is getting beyond 
what I'm prepared to do. I've anyway done it all before.)

I realise that this is not exactly on topic in a C forum, but a couple 
of people have been curious about this. I also didn't see any difference 
between a post in that thread, or a new one.
