Actually, what I intended was:
1. Go to the page mentioned
2. Use your web browser's built in search feature to search within the
page for "superpositions".

Ok. I think I see what Mr. Duff was suggesting. He was wanting the
result of each comparison added to the junction represented by $j0. If this
is possible, it'd cover it pretty well; not the optimal syntax, but
considering how often most people would use it, probably not too important.
Or, we could have $truecount and $falsecount as junctions that
automatically are set the way $j0 is set, and then we could use the junction
functions on them (is there anything else which rhymes with junction? :) ).
