Found just a few typos: p. 3 operator summary: kushow omits map argument p.6 "it's CharProcs dictionary" errant apostrophe possible improvement: Maybe add example code for the ushow details. Sure, it's everywhere else. And you see it soon enough by scrolling either up or down to the nearest example. But if you bee-line to the simple case, you don't get the full view/narrow scope base case model all in a nutshell, you know? Does that make sense? possible improvement: show off more fancy characters in the examples? This is friggin' brilliant. Crow it to the murder!
