Just to be clear, do I apply Daniel's patch then apply your
patch? Or, is your patch a composite of Daniel's patch and
your corrections?

I'd go with the first. When the file is processed to generate
the dvi file, tex will do the kerning for us.

For the more complicated intrinsics such as TRANSFER and ASSOCIATED,
we may want to give more than one example; whereas the simpler intrinsics
such as SIN and RANDOM_SEED do not need elaborate examples.
