Thanks Fraser. I’m looking forward to it.
I have a poor man’s version that is workable.
However just ran across a sentence in today’s NYT that I will have to include:
(“What they’re offering people is a full stomach and an empty soul.”)
I had dealt with the quote beyond the period and the paren beyond the period,
but not both.
I find it quite useful in look ups. I can look find all sentences in a book
length ms. in which any number of words occur, regardless of the order.
The ICU library will be a welcome addition.
