<p>Every rule is a function of two arguments, a cell and a world. If the rule fires, it returns a new cell, which should have the same values for <code>:x</code> and <code>:y</code> as the old cell. Anything else can be modified.</p>
<p>While any function of two arguments can be used as a rule, a special high level rule language is provided by the <code>mw-parser</code> package, which compiles rules expressed in a subset of English rules into suitable functions.</p>
<p>A cell is a map containing at least values for the keys :x, :y, and :state; a transformation should not alter the values of :x or :y, and should not return a cell without a keyword as the value of :state. Anything else is legal.</p>
<p>A world is a two dimensional matrix (sequence of sequences) of cells, such that every cells <code>:x</code> and <code>:y</code> properties reflect its place in the matrix. See <code>world.clj</code>.</p>
<p>Each time the world is transformed (see <code>transform-world</code>), for each cell, rules are applied in turn until one matches. Once one rule has matched no further rules can be applied to that cell.</p>

What this is about is that I want to be able, for debugging purposes, to tag a cell with the rule text of the rule which fired (and especially so when an exception is thrown. So a rule may be either an ifn, or a list (ifn source-text). This function deals with despatching on those two possibilities. <code>world</code> is also passed in in order to be able to access neighbours.</p>
