Why half-helpful? Because once you know that "Denote" refers to "taking notes", you will probably remember that. When you see the name "Denote", you will recall what the package is good for. Why only half helpful? Because if you see only the name "Denote" without the clue, you won't have the faintest idea what the package is good for. This initial mystery is what makes the name amusingly clever. Can we come up with documentation conventions, for use when mentioning these half-helpful names, that will systematicall give the clue about each? -- Dr Richard Stallman (https://stallman.org) Chief GNUisance of the GNU Project (https://gnu.org) Founder, Free Software Foundation (https://fsf.org) Internet Hall-of-Famer (https://internethalloffame.org)
