WARNING: do not use Pete Kaiser's emacs function "gs-toc" alone to

re-create the table of contents here, because it will replace the

hand-edited TOC subheads with a separate subhead for each H2 in
|
|
|
11 |
the body of the file. Or if you do, first look at the original
|
|
|
12 |
TOC to see how to edit it for visual conciseness.
