[e-lang] Content Complete, Ready for Comments

[Mark Miller]

I have posted our current state at the usual place:
http://www.erights.org/talks/promises/paper/index.html

We have incorporated many of your suggestions. Many others we have yet to 
incorporate. Interesting, an amazing number of the suggestions still applied, 
and were quite valuable, despite the version split. So if you do have comments 
on a stale version, please do let us know. Thanks!

For this version, the parts up to promise pipelining are still in flux, and 
will likely change again tomorrow morning/afternoon. The parts afterwards are 
as they were.

I have deleted the paragraph. The currently posted intro is a snapshot in the 
middle of my thrashing to try to say, by other means, what I was hoping this 
paragraph was saying. In retrospect, I agree that this paragraph wasn't 
working. Now that it's gone, it's forcing me to find clearer words to say 
these things, which is good. I just haven't found them yet.
