The nonessential procedure force and syntax delay are
implemented exactly as suggested in the report 4. This implementation
deviates internally from the implementation of force and
delay in the SCM interpeter, thus it is incorrect to pass a
promise created by delay in the compiled code to the force
used by interpreter, and vice-versa for the promises created by the
interpreter.
