+The assignment for example can be changed from 'set!' to 'setq' for instance.
+Only the leaf functions which checks for the type tag needs to be changed.

+
+Derived expressions can be used to implement all the above 
+constructs. For example, 'for' can be implementing by transforming
+the body into an iterative procedure. 'dotimes' is similar and
+simpler. 'while' can be implemented using recursive procedure
+and 'if'.
