it's a rough rough rough draft

[Andrei Alexandrescu]

I made one pass through the doc. It's about pre-alpha quality now. 
Added a little bibliography, stuff here and there, and lost steam 
exactly when things were starting to become more interesting. My 
impression is that we dived in things without keeping the Zen-ish 
perspective needed at this level of detail. But maybe I'm wrong.

Any input is welcome. I added Kevlin Henney and Ben Hutchings to the 
list. Please reply to all.

I attached the tex and bib files, plus a PDF for your convenience.
