That's what Robby wants. I've tried it that way as well. It works fine.
My main problem with it is when *future* users search for "plot" in
the documentation. They'd get the pointers in strategic locations,
yes, but users don't always read text. And the pointers would have to
be in a lot of places.
If the problem with option #1 is users looking at "plot" documentation
and not seeing the "DON'T USE THIS, USE PLOT2" warnings... I'll
volunteer to edit "collects/plot/plot.scrbl" to try to avoid this problem.
Oh, I is good at that. I rite good. But I'd be very happy to have you
look it over after I push it. Users always read things a little
differently than devs, as you well know.
Option #1 seems like an easy way to go, from what I can see.
Okay, you've almost got me convinced again. I'm so wishy-washy. Sorry, Eli.
You know what would convince me the most? Find me a great name for the
new library that contains the word "plot". It should be clever and sound
official.
