[matrix] Message-free Matrix

[Francis Bond]

G'day,

I made a grammar with the new matrix, and the MRSs don't scope.   If
you explicitly add a global top (GTOP), separate from the local top
(LTOP), they then scope once more [thanks to Dan Flickinger for this
solution].

;;;Changed to (in mrsglobals):
(defparameter *psoa-top-h-path*
 `(,(vsym "HOOK") ,(vsym "GTOP"))
 "path to get the hook's ltop from an mrs fs (psoa - parameterised
state of affairs -
  old terminology)")

;;;(and added GTOP to the MRS definition in matrix.tdl)
hook := avm &
 [ GTOP handle,
   LTOP handle,
   INDEX individual,
   XARG individual ].

Unfortunately, this means that the hook of the MRS is the GTOP, and it
is not explicitly linked into the MRS at all, which makes much of the
MRS manipulation we did when extracting hypernyms from definitions
slightly more complicated.  If anyone knows of a good way of linking
"_neru_v_rel"the GTOP and what used to be the Hook's LTOP, please let
me know.

In more concrete terms, the thing called the LTOP in the matrix below
(which I think is really the GTOP), is not now linked to anything
inside the MRS.   I had expected it to have some relation (h1 qeq h8)
to the LBL of "_neru_v_rel", whose index it shares.

          [ "unspec_q_rel"

            RSTR: h6
            BODY: h7 ]
          [ "_neru_v_rel"
            LBL: h8
            ARG0: e2
            ARG1: x4 ] >
   HCONS: < h6 qeq h3 > ]

Yours,
