	I'm going to delete this page and the underlying pages somehow.
They do not serve a purpose anymore.

	* I get steady contributions of symbols via this mechanism.  

	* The contributed symbols do not automatically go into the 
	  symbol library.

	* I have been resisting putting them into the library because
	  the vast majority are heavy symbols and well, the arguments
	  against heavy symbols is well known and has been discussed
	  to death.

	* As I've mentioned before, I'm going to move the entire existing
	  library into a "contrib" library and then create a controlled
	  set of "std" library which just consists of light symbols for
	  the most critical things.

	* After this move, I will toss all the contributed symbols via
	  the above mechanism into the contrib library.
