Brilliant, thank you for the explanation and the Wikipedia link. I'm going to stop by the library this weekend to see if they have any books on compiler design, do you have any recommendations there?

Thanks again, its great to learn something new.

I'm also partial to Appel's "Modern Compiler Implementation in ML", because it goes into more detail about techniques for compiling functional languages:
