} Hi Bill,
} 
} I certainly think it's useful, and would support putting it somewhere
} on the main site once you've completed it, if that's acceptable to
} you.  Dunno what others think, though.
} 
If others agree, then that would be fine.

} I've been thinking of writing a brief document, maybe in tex or
} texinfo format, about internals of cpplib.  Hopefully this would make
} it easier for others to chip in, though I don't think cpplib is
} anywhere near as intimidating as the compiler proper.  There are
} various things that could trip people up and should be documented
} properly, though.  Is this a good idea?
} 
My thoughts is that a technical document for the uninitiated would be a
great thing (hence why I was doing the tree.def thing). The comments in
the code are great, but it's also good to have a separate explanation of
components, IMHO.
