I kinda figured that.  Can't blame me for trying to shame you into
writing more docs, though, can you?  'twere a community service.<wink>

Yep.  The context is

me:    I know that Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts, and Barry Warsaw
       are big fans of looms [which is enough to interest me], but in
       all the examples visible on the web either rebase (for most) or
       something like Mercurial queues would do just as well.  [So, it
       is hard to justify the time and effort to learn about looms
       when for present purposes I'm happy with my workflow.  Want
       more blogs and/or tutorials.]
?????: I'm a fan too!  Him too!  fans += 2
Barry: Me too!  fans += 1
me:    That's double counting!  fans -= 1
       Anyway, I want a blog, not just a count of fans!
       [Equivalent verbose example-type docs acceptable, of course.]

Implied context manifested in [].
