There are currently several builtin modules. More builtin modules will be added in the future.
.Available builtin modules

* <<_module_fmt,*fmt*>>: String and console formatting functions
* <<_module_import,*import*>>: Functions <<_import,import()>> and <<_include,include()>>
* <<_module_iterator,*iterator*>>: Iterator helper functions

Builtins activation is done by using the [blue]`BUILTIN` operator. All modules except "base" must be explicitly enabled. The syntax is as follows.

@ -1346,24 +1346,22 @@ Syntax: +
Returns the sum of the values of the parameters. The parameters can be of any numeric type for which the [blue]`+` operator is defined. The result type depends on the types of the parameters. If all parameters are of the same type, the result is of that type. If the parameters are of different types, the result is of the type that can represent all the parameter types without loss of information. For example, if the parameters are a mix of integers and floats, the result is a float. If the parameters are a mix of number types, the result has the type of the most general one.

== Iterators
Iterators are objects that can be used to traverse collections, such as lists and dictionaries. They are created by providing a _data-source_ object, the collection, in a `$(<data-source>)` expression. Once an iterator is created, it can be used to access the elements of the collection one by one.
In general, data-sources are objects that can be iterated over. They are defined as dictionaries having the key `next` whose value is a function that returns the next element of the collection and updates the state of the iterator. The _next_ function must return a special value, [blue]_nil_, when there are no more elements to iterate over.
Lists and dictionaries are implicit data-sources. The syntax for creating an iterator is as follows.
Lists and, soon, dictionaries, are implicit data-sources. The syntax for creating an iterator is as follows.
