I agree!

As I understand it, bookvol5 is nowhere near completion.  What is your
take on dhmatrix?  As I understand it that file is closer to a "proper"
literate document.  Or, for that matter, what about cl-web?


I think dhmatrix as a literate document is rather "marginal". Yes it
presents the main ideas of the code but does not seem like much
advance over embedded comments to me.

cl-web: A very well written example for a relatively small program. I
think this is very hard to reproduce for most Axiom components.
(cl-web is not Axiom).
