+       Until now, the procedure code has provided a case to the
+       case_source, which has filled in the data values that come from
+       the active file.  "Left" data values that don't come from the
+       active file naturally stay the same from case to case, because the
+       procedure code keeps using that same case.
+
+       One of the compromises that comes with the new procedure code is
+       that the active file allocates and provides its own case, which
+       the procedure code then has to resize to provide room for any
+       other variables that should go in the case and then fill in the
+       values of "left" variables.  Then, when we're done with that case,
+       we have to save the values of "left" variables to copy into the
+       next case read from the active file.
+
+       The caseinit code helps with this.

+       * caseinit.c: New file.

+       * caseinit.h: New file.
