I like the changes in this paragraph, except for the removal of "as a
first approximation".  Not a big deal, though.
I don't hear "as a first approximation" spoken often and it just brings
more cognitive overhead to the content in my opinion.

I would maybe use a ';'?

	It is not built-in;
	it is just another program.
That's better, I'll use that in v2.
I think I'll apply this patch.  Let me meditate it to-night.  I CCed
Doug, in case he has any comments (it would be great to hear his
feedback).

Have a lovely night!
