It's probably gratuitous. I will remove it.

I got this suggestion in internal review. I gambled,
and lost. :) I'll add the list as you suggest.

OK.

OK. I'll delete this paragraph.

Yes. I will add a reference to it.

Yes it is, but I was having trouble trying to describe
them. "Symbolic specifier" got to be unwieldy. The paragraph
that talked about the "0-based index value" (which I said I
would delete) was an attempt to at least give it some sort of
name. If someone has a suggestion for how best to describe
this I'm totally open.

Sorry, I didn't realize it was wrong. I intentionally used
it simply for groiuping.

No, I'll just pull them all out of the container.

Thank you very much for the quick review. (And on
to the next one...)
