That was also my impression, that the "fuzzy" aspects of writing for
human comprehension didn't map well to the leo paradigm.  I had assumed
that I simply wasn't "getting" it...

I agree - that's a natural consequence of focusing on writing for human
comprehension.

I also had that impression.  That's why I was hoping for a "paper in
Leo" example somewhere.
 
I am curious about a small, new lisp editor called Able
http://phil.nullable.eu/ and whether it could be taught to do what we
need for Axiom.  Unfortunately it's GPL which can be tricky in Lisp...

Cheers,
