  <tmdoc-title|Functional operators>

  Funcational operators are used for computational purposes during the
  typesetting phase, such as increasing counters, localizing strings like
  ``theorem'' and so on. A fundamental set of basic functional operators are
  built-in primitives. New functional operators can easily be added using the
  <markup|extern> primitive. Functional operators operate on five main types
  of arguments: strings, numbers, lengths, booleans and tuples. Some
  operators are overloaded, so that they can be used for several types.
