   22: This defines execution chains.
   23: The first application for this is building initialization chains:
   24: Think of many modules or program parts, each of it with some specific
   25: initialization code. If we hardcode the initialization routines into a
   26: "master-init" we will get unflexible and are not able only to load some
   27: specific modules...
   28: 
   29: The chain is basicaly a linked-list. Define a Variable for the head of
   30: linked-list. Name it "foo8" or "foo-chain" to indicate it is a execution
   31: chain.
   32: 
   33: You can add a word to the list with "' my-init foo8 chained". You can
   34: execute all the code with "foo8 chainperform".
