I don't really understand this chapter.

- With @auto-rst, there is no "importing" taking place (because it's a
two-way operation).
- "round-tripping" is a rather technical term for a simple process:
@auto-rst allows you to edit an existing rst file directly, while
still having the benefit of rst document structure being reflected in
the leo outline at all times.
- It's a good idea to have a concrete example of @auto-rst as soon as
possible, instead of all the theory that comes after chapter 2.
