[9front] question about how twig was handled in Plan 9

[Mon Aaraj]

This is a blind shot because I couldn't find other resources nor the
code for the ``twig`` utility that was shipped with Plan 9 1st Ed. It
would be preferable to find the source code.

The part where identifying matches is apparently easy, but how do they
then process it as though it conforms to a grammar?

If of interest, the Twig Reference Manual can be found here: 
https://www.telecomarchive.com/docs/bsp-archive/Letters%20and%20Memos/CSTR/CSTR%20120.pdf

Quite a few of the Technical Reports can also be found there 
(https://www.telecomarchive.com/docs/bsp-archive/Letters%20and%20Memos/CSTR/) 
- an interesting browse
