Submitted (for some future release): theorem numbering modules by type

[Paul A. Rubin]

Hi,

There was a request on the user list (which I thought sensible) to 
provide theorem modules that number theorems, lemmas, propositions etc. 
separately, rather than all using the theorem counter.  IIRC, this is 
the default behavior for LaTeX.  I've put a set of hacked modules, along 
with four small test documents to confirm that they work as expected, at 
http://mgt.bus.msu.edu/~rubin/theorems.zip.  If you decide to adopt 
these, feel free to change the names (I used "by type" to signify 
numbering within species) and also to check/adjust the required/excluded 
modules.  I suspect that, should they be adopted, the current theorem 
and AMS theorem modules will need to be adjusted to exclude collisions 
with these.

I did not produce a by-type within-chapter/section variant of the 
extended AMS module, although that would be, to quote an old math 
professor, "tedious but brutally straight-forward".

Cheers,
Paul
