Indeed, the "new boot" is much more comfortable than "old boot", in
many respects. It has a preliminary support for (dynamic)
type-checking, algebra datatype and pattern matching.
I don't think there is much code in Axiom that takes advantage of the
features of "new boot".
I believe I understand enough of it to start documenting it properly.
Very interestingly, it has much ressemblance with core Haskell.
However, the "new boot" still needs some tuning, but I prefer it over
the "old boot".
