You'd rather have it in the main lispref manual? That was my original intention, but it grew kinda long, so I felt it would be better to keep it separate. But I don't have any strong opinions here -- the nodes take about 500 lines, which would be an (/ 500.0 100000) => 0.005 increase of the lispref size. -- (domestic pets only, the antidote for overdose, milk.) bloggy blog: http://lars.ingebrigtsen.no
