Yep. This originally was for an Elisp novice, to start putting together
components that could be cut+yanked and evaluated in part - in the one
buffer. Eventually "putting it all together" into the final form.
As a novice - a little trial and error goes in to auditioning the various
functions. And much lookup in the Lisp manual. So, variously-working forms
sit side-by-side with better working ones, as we scratch our head and try
again.
If anyone has any better suggestions, for a novice tinkering away, they
would be welcome. Gleaning meaningful info from the debugger would seem to
be a candidate for a newbie lesson.
