Literal-evaluation

Evaluation of Leo literals.

Leo literals represent Leo values fairly directly. The only complication is with group literals with non-explicit coordinates, i.e. where one coordinate is determined from the other according to certain rules.

In any case, the semantics of Leo literals can be formalized via a function that evaluates literals to values. More precisely, the evaluation of literals may fail, in which case we return nil as an error indication, in line with our defensive semantics of Leo.
