And if we had such a library, maybe someone would improve this
by makin the string branch output with the correct number of
significant digits!
It's just an example, but it's a good one as it makes sense.
It should be like this:
* Everyone does their own customization (obviously)
* Everyone does their own original/creative projects (or ditto
just-for-fun elisping)
* But everyone should not do this basic stuff over and over,
instead it should be found in libraries - incomplete and
poor as they may be day one, in time they will be improved
to become a huge asset.
