Believe me, I understand.  However if you don't do it, it means someone
else has to, or otherwise we go without docs.

I can think of various kinds of patch economies out there.  If there
existed people that just like to document other people's work, then we
could indeed think of this arrangement as the most efficient.

However until such a person comes along, the most fair thing seems to be
for those that have the pleasure of interesting coding also handle their
share of documentation.

So, if you have time, we would appreciate docs on these pieces of Guile
:)

Regards,

Andy
