This is as good an opportunity as I will ever get to sound off about
undocumented features.  The reason why we authors keep them undocumented
is not always because we are too lazy to write the documentation, but
because it leaves open the possibility of changing the implementation of
some documented feature without introducing backward incompatibilities.
But if the feature is useful enough, it will acquire a life of its own.

Now that Don himself has pointed out a new use for \bartext, I humbly
submit that its status is now 'documented', even though the documentation
is only a submission to the list.

There are quite a few other very nice things in pmx.tex.  Don, how would
you feel about it if people who use them publish their usage, thus raising
their status to 'de facto documented'?
