Oh, that can be done. It's easier to move text around than to
rearchitect code :)
It misses the point though. Machines should work while humans are
lounging. If the humans have to read a lot to get the machines to
work, there's less time for lounging ;-)
Also, there's
the restriction that we'd like to keep it looking good in plain ascii,
