I agree with the separate minmax.e suggestion.  Didn't someone suggest
that new libraries be posted on the user contributions page so that
they could be reviewed and tested for a period of time.  I think that
is a very good idea.

Perhaps a new category could be added for proposed new features with 
say a 30-90 day test/study period to get feedback from the community.

of course posting the proposed code to this list is soliciting 
community feedback.  I think the main thing I'm suggesting is
more structure - a defined procedure.  Once again, I agree with
Jurguen's comment that a bit more organization would be good.

I don't know what an ibject is either, but for that matter
I don't know what "nomnt" stands for.  Most people probably
are able to discern the meanings and purpose of identifiers, etc
from the code. My understanding is that there is no need
to use cryptic identifiers.  

Seeing "ibject" and "nomnt" gave me a flashback to MS BASIC 2.0
on a 5k VIC-20 - that was a quarter of a century ago.
