These two sentences don't seem to fit together:
"If DEPTH is nonzero, parenthesis depth counting begins from that
value."
"Thus, a positive value for DEPTH means go out DEPTH levels of
parenthesis."
To make them fit I imagine that counting begins at a positive DEPTH and
decrements, not increments, until zero is reached. That fits this, as
well:
"The only candidates for stopping are places where the depth in
parentheses becomes zero; `scan-lists' counts COUNT such places and then
stops."
Is that it? Counting is *backward* from a positive DEPTH value *to
zero*? If so, say so. If not, clarify what does in fact happen. As it
is now, the description is not clear.
