[Cook] table lookup

[Jerry Pendergraft]

something like:

table = 
C                       .c
C++                     .cpp
Java                    .j
Yacc                    .y
    ;

all :
{
    local type = Java;

    local ext = [word [expr 1 "+" [in [type] [table]]] [table]];

    function print [type] "->" [ext];
}

Course some might say that an expression like:
  [word [expr 1 "+" [in [type] [table]]] [table]];
is tantamount to a function ;^)
