List of statements in Inform 7

This is a rough, incomplete, in-progress summary of statements in Inform 7. I've used "..." to mean there's more to the statement that I haven't figured out yet. This first draft is simply to give a heads-up of what sort of thing I'm looking for for this page.

The BNF summary somewhere in the I7 manual may be helpful for this, but I want to see something a bit more human-readable here, something similar to Appendix A? in the DM4. Ultimately, this page will hopefully be part of a set of pages comparable to "Inform in four minutes" by Roger Firth. -- David Welbourn 08:30, 11 May 2008 (PDT)
