-   Icon is a high-level programming language with extensive
-facilities for processing strings and structures. Icon has
-several novel features, including expressions that may produce
-sequences of results, goal-directed evaluation that automatically
-searches for a successful result, and string scanning that allows
-operations on strings to be formulated at a high conceptual
-level.

-   Icon emphasizes high-level string processing and a design phi-
-losophy that allows ease of programming and short, concise pro-
-grams. Storage allocation and garbage collection are automatic in
-Icon, and there are few restrictions on the sizes of objects.
-Strings, lists, and other structures are created during program
-execution and their size does not need to be known when a program
-is written.  Values are converted to expected types automati-
-cally; for example, numeral strings read in as input can be used
-in numerical computations without explicit conversion.  Icon has
-an expression-based syntax with reserved words; in appearance,
-Icon programs resemble those of Pascal and C.

-The language is described in R. E. Griswold and M. T. Griswold, The
-Icon Programming Language, Prentice-Hall, Inc., Englewood Cliffs,
-NJ, second edition, 1990.
