A very interesting discussion! At first read, your rules about em
dashes and semicolons and i.e. and e.g. all sounded very strident to me,
but then your examples support your points well -- the texts evince the
rules. To my untrained eye and irreverent hand, anyway.
So... roll on, Guile manual, roll on? Hopefully you and Neil will fall
into a state of mental synchronization, so that we do productive work on
the manual. Though if you get too synchronized we list-readers will
lose the benefit of these digressions :)
Cheers,
Andy
