Well, I posted the current doc. It has a not yet quite complete section 2.7.7
about arrays, and that will be the last subsection of the chapter. I thought
using the Josephus circle problem as example was pretty neat... :-)
But anyway, comments welcome, even if that last section's not yet finished.
Cheers,

PS: Oh, I changed the manuscript title to "Intelligent Person's Intro to
Programming" -- is that good?
