Currently, the generators are handled in sequence of the argument list offered by the user.
As a result of such implementation, a list
    { (x, y) | x belongs to { 0, 1 }, y belongs to natural number set }
may be trapped in the inner infinite loop. To avoid such situation, make sure finite generators 
are subsequent to all the infinite ones.

FUNCTIONS

comp($@)->(@)

For creating a list comprehension object. The formula for computing the elements of
the list is given as a subroutine, following by the generators, in form of name => arrayref, 
name => subroutine or name => comprehension. Comp returns a function which takes all guards 
in form of subroutines. Guard parameters can be left empty if there is no guard.

The variable names for naming the ganerators could be used directly in the computation sub and
all guard subs without strict vars enabled. They have local scope as if they were declared with
keyword 'local' in Perl.

A hashref which holds generator variables as its keys and value of those variables as
its values is passed to the formula subroutine. However, it is recommended to use such
variables directly instead of dereference the hashref.

Generators can be arrayrefs or subroutines or list comprehensions. A subroutine generator 
should return a pair ( elt, done ), where elt is the next element and done is a flag telling 
whether the iteration is over, or return a single element.

It is possible that some generator A is dependent on another generator B. In that case, B
must be subsequent to A. See test cases for details.

The subroutine comp is in EXPORT_OK, but it is not exported by default
