please find below two attachments: new file lispref/hairy.texi, and
a patch to some other lispref/ files that integrates it.  the new file
adds chapter "Abstractions" with sections "Rings" and "Byte Packing".

(this is not exactly what you asked for but what you asked for is part
of it, so feel free to ignore the rest.  on the other hand, i am happy
to widen the discussion to topics such as still-empty node "Separated
Rendering" (placeholder for future ewoc.el docs) or other doc efforts
related to lisp/emacs-lisp/ files.)
