It's a good forward, but I wasn't keen on it being the first text that
introductory people see - they want to get into the language, not get
a history lesson! But that is me bing particularly harsh, so I'll move
it back.

Sure, but I think Craig's material is great. It really covers all the
basics, and then some More folding of the material into the other
stuff, I agree with.

How's that coming along? I'd like to draw a line under the chapters
that are (and are not) there now, write the index, and get the first
version oiut.
