  evaluator
       
           Geoff Burn defines evaluators E0, E1, E2 and E3 which
          when applied to an expression, reduce it to varying degrees.
          E0 does no evaluation, E1 it evaluates to {weak head normal
          form} (WHNF), E2 evaluates the structure of a list, i.e. it
          evaluates it either to NIL or evaluates it to a CONS and then
          applies E2 to the second argument of the CONS.  E3 evaluates
          the structure of a list and evaluates each element of the list
          to {WHNF}.  This concept can be extended to data structures
          other than lists and forms the basis of the {evaluation
          transformer} style of {strictness analysis}.
