I agree with this point actually. But for the moment they are all
standalone. However as I swallow the src/interp files into bookvol5
all of the "tex overhead" disappears.
I thought about making the document command add the header/footer
information but I was more focused on providing the \author
information for each file. And I started with trying to write
a "canonical example" of an axiom literate program which became
dhmatrix.spad.pamphlet. recovering the historical credit information
was the overriding concern. since \author occurs in the preamble each
file needed a preamble. then there was the bibliography issue (which
was originally only in dhmatrix) which was presumed different for
each file. eventually i thought about the bibtex approach, wrote
axiom.bib.pamphlet, but only implemented it for one document as a
proof of concept and didn't get it spread everywhere.
so, yes, i agree that i should probably figured out a non-preamble
approach but didn't.
