Chapter 3 or 5?

This could be interesting, but it would have to tie in with other work
on rearranging the examples.  I suppose I could work on this next...

I'll look into this and start discussing things on -devel.  Hopefully
I'll have something to report in a week.

In the mean time, could you post some examples of this to LSR?  It
would be helpful to see exactly what you're proposing... and my
proposal involves LSR, so if it works out you'll be uploading it
to LSR anyway.  :)
