The purpose of ^L is to subdivide code to make it clearer,
both for reading on line and when printed.
I never made every page fit in one printed page.
In some places, that is very hard to do, and I didn't
have enough time to spare for neatness in all the rest of the code.
Nonetheless, the code is easier to understand where we have divided
it nicely.
