Note that, thanks to rowing, in practice it is very easy to ignore pages
by just operating on coordinates like [line,char].  Every transput
routine accepting a flex[]flex[]flex[]char will just rowen [line,char]
into [1,line,char], i.e. the user can operate on just line/chars and the
system will assume the book has only one page.
