The challenge in updating the Lisp Introduction manual is to try to
keep its informal and reader-friendly style as much as possible.  It
is not just another ELisp Reference manual!  So please try to keep
that in mind when you write the text, and in particular try not to
modify the existing text that is still accurate -- it was written by a
master, and each word there counts, even if it looks at first sight as
not important.
