I read your prose all the way through. I still haven't read the source code; I didn't feel the need to read it. Were I to maintain your program, I'd have more than enough confidence to start hacking the code right now.
I think this speaks very positively about literate programming. What remains to be seen is how much (or not) I'm going to practice it in the future. What do you think of marginalia? It's a bit the reverse of tangle; it assembles all those 70's files together into this book you might want to read. Is it sound or not? Have your thoughts changed from what you wrote in [1]?
