/**
 * ADFStack is a special data object used to hold ADF data.
 * This object is a weird beast and takes some explaining.
 * It consists of a main stack, a secondary "substack", and a "reserve" area 
 * (also implemented as a stack,
 * but it doesn't have to be).  The reserve is used to "recycle" objects
 * rather than having to create then new every time.
 *
 * <P>When an ADF is evaluated, it first
 * evaluates its children, then it calls push() on the ADFstack.
 * push() either creates a new ADFContext, or it fetches one from the
 * reserve if possible.  It then pushes the context on the main stack,
 * and also returns the context.  The ADF fills the context's arguments
 * with the results of its childrens' evaluation, and sets numargs to 
 * the number of
 * arguments, then evaluates the
 * ADF's associated function tree, 
 *
 * <p>When an ADM is evaluated, it calls push() on the ADFstack.
 * The ADM then fills the context's adm node with itself, and sets numargs
 * to the number of children it has.  Then it calls the ADM's associated
 * function tree.
 *
 * <p>In that tree, if an argument terminal of value <i>n</i> is evaluated,
 * the argument terminal calls evaluate(...) on the top context 
 * on the ADF stack and returns the result.
 * This method does different things depending on whether the top context
 * represented an ADF or an ADM.  If it was an ADF, the context simply sets
 * input to the value of argument <i>n</i> in the context's argument list,
 * and returns input.  If it was an ADM, the context pops itself off the
 * stack and pushes itself on the substack (to set up the right context
 * for evaluating an original child of the ADM), then evaluates child <i>n</i>
 * of the ADM, then pops itself off the substack and pushes itself back
 * on the stack to restore the context.  Input is set to the evaluated
 * results, and input is returned.
