| Yes, but in the book I will expect you and Randal to have worked your

| than two lines long :-)

Actually, every example that ends up in the book will simply be
abbreviated as "example1;", "example2;", on up to "example2924;", and
Larry will add the code into the next patch to implement these tokens
as highly optimized C performing the necessary functions for the
example.
