@c maintenance note for developers
@c
@c N.B. use @maintstart and @maintend manually if using multiple
@c paragraphs otherwise PDF output (TeX) breaks; we'll figure out
@c a better solution in the future
@macro maintstart{}

@c Conveying the historical details of the project is important to
@c understand why the system exists in the state that it does
@c today.  Use of this macro will hopefully help mitigate some of the
@c problems noted by Peter Naur in his paper Programming as Theory Building:
