Let me also add that I apologize for brining up these old threads. I
feel badly I didn't address them years ago, I feel bad for the original
posters, and I do think there is some value in addressing some of them,
which I think is validated by the many useful doc patches I have made
over the past few weeks. I am over half done and hope everyone can be
patient with me while I do my best to finish this long-overdue job.
