[Not exactly in line with your question; hopefully not too OT either] I tried for a while to collect material on making the skimpy input-method documentation a bit better. Sadly couldn't find my way and got lost... On a more positive note have been playing around with agda and find it exhi= larating to at last find a language that is 2016 and not 1980: First example from http://learnyouanagda.liamoc.net/toc.html data =E2=84=95 : Set where=20 zero : =E2=84=95 suc : =E2=84=95 =E2=86=92 =E2=84=95 The =E2=84=95 is of course noticeable but see also the =E2=86=92 rather tha= n the clunky '->' which gets even uglier in a typical proportional font [agda is naturally typed in emacs]
