Some more notes;
We may need some more stylistic guidelines. There are a lot of sentence fragments (as opposed to full sentences) in the manual and considering the subject matter and the need to frequently break up sentences to illustrate matters in code that seems unavoidable, but I started capitalising those. I think this improves readability.
I also need to apologise to Tomasz as I mistakenly attributed the sentence "In its own screwed-up way, this is kind of nice because....." to him, took it out, then send him a off-list note commenting on the usage of crude language in official documents in a way that I -at the time- thought was amusingly self-referential.
It turns out that line is from the original pdf. For all I know it was Ge himself pointing out the "screwedupness" of the ChucK operator. That was completely my mistake.
On the bright side; I cleaned up that paragraph and will document --shell tonight in penance over my screw-up.
Kas.
