If you have a unifier in Common Lisp, you can write a one-line EBG
algorithm. It is given chapter 2, section 4 of

@incollection{Mooney90, key="Mooney90", 
Author="Mooney, R. J.",
Title="Explanation Generalization in {E}ggs",
publisher="Morgan Kaufmann",
Booktitle="Case Studies in EBL",
editor="DeJong, J. F.",
year=1990, pages="29 pages"}

This is a great chapter. It describes the similarity and differences
among all the best-known EBG alorithms.
