You mean: places where lines do not break now but did in previous
version? Or places where problem already appeared in earlier
versions? If problem is old I would prefer to limit time spent
on it. AFAICS current book in a improvement, it does not make
sense to delay much to solve all problems. And in particular
rushed solutions tend to have their own problems.

So you are replacing seqence of definitions by single function. At
first glance that looks good (I did not check how it looks in generated
book).

You mean output of 'fullDisplay(fm-%)'? IMO it is reasonable to
completely skip it, it just essentially repeats previous points.
Or repleace it by 'fullDisplay(fm-%, 1, 5)' with text changed
to 'Display first 5 operations ...'.
